Acoustic PRIME was awesome this
past Monday night. The band opened with an old rendition of a Beatles' classic tune, "Blackbird". Will Goodwin and Lauren Boyd led an incredible worship time, and Dave shared a poignant message from the book of Revelation.


We also heard from one of our team leaders and the challenges of clean water and disease that she experienced growing up in Africa. That led us to our Dry Tears emphasis and our "Fill our Cup to fill theirs" campaign. We are raising $4,500 to dig a well and provide clean water to 30,000 people in a very specific region of Africa. And, we are off to a great start. We hope you'll be able to jump on board with us in the days to come. Emily Walters is leading the way for our team in this effort. We are grateful for her heart and the opportunity that God has given us to be such a blessing to those on the other side of the world, the sometimes forgotten. Not to us.

Looking back, looking ahead...

Next Monday, March 23rd is going to be a very special night with an out of the ordinary setup.

This past Monday, we saw the effects (& stats) of those that are affected by dirty water. One of the first projects that we've taken up as a group who want to make a difference is to dig a well in an African village where 30,000 people will be the beneficiaries. It's amazing to see how God can use a group from Atlanta to impact the lives of so many so far away. We'll be hearing a real account next week of just how difficult it can be. And, we'll have a visible reminder of how we can make more of a difference together than we can apart.

Dave reminded us all last night that our God is a creative, amazing God. Join us in the next few weeks to see how He uses people in His creative process. We're grateful for all the support we've seen at PRIME, now we want to get the word out and make the biggest possible contribution to God's Kingdom and to hurting people that we can possibly make. Please consider this week who you can invite to next week's PRIME and let's go make a difference in our community and our world.

What happens to those who have never heard about Jesus?



Question: "What happens to those who have never heard about Jesus?"Answer: All people are accountable to God whether they have “heard about Him” or not. The Bible tells us that God has clearly revealed Himself in nature (Romans 1:20) and in the hearts of people (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The problem is that the human race is sinful; we all reject this knowledge of God and rebel against Him (Romans 1:21-23). Apart from God's grace, God would give us over to the sinful desires of our hearts, allowing us to discover how useless and miserable life is apart from Him. This He does for those who reject Him (Romans 1:24-32).In reality, it is not that some people have not heard about God. Rather, the problem is that they have rejected what they have heard and what is readily seen in nature. Deuteronomy 4:29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This verse teaches an important principle—everyone who truly seeks after God will find Him. If a person truly desires to know God, God will make Himself known.The problem is, “there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God” (Romans 3:11). People reject the knowledge of God that is present in nature and in their own hearts, and instead decide to worship a “god” of their own creation. It is foolish to debate the fairness of God sending someone to hell who never had the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Christ. People are responsible to God for what God has already revealed to them. The Bible says that people reject this knowledge, and therefore God is just in condemning them to hell.Instead of debating the fate of those who have never heard, we, as Christians, should be doing our best to make sure that they hear. We are called to spread the Gospel throughout the nations (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8). The fact that we know people reject the knowledge of God revealed in nature must motivate us to proclaim the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Only through accepting the God’s grace through the Lord Jesus Christ can people be saved from their sins and rescued from an eternity apart from God in hell.If we assume that those who never hear the Gospel are granted mercy from God, we will run into a terrible problem. If people who never hear the Gospel are saved, it is logical that we should make sure no one ever hears the Gospel. The worst thing we could do would be share the Gospel with a person and have him or her reject it. If that were to happen, he or she would be condemned. People who do not hear the Gospel must be condemned, or else there is no motive for evangelism. Why run the risk of people possibly rejecting the Gospel and condemning themselves when they were previously saved because they had never heard the Gospel?
