Jeremiah 35:1-36:32, I Timothy 5:1-25, Psalm 89:14-37, Proverbs 25:25-27

“The church should take loving care of women whose husbands have died if they don’t have anyone else to help them. But if they have children or grandchildren, these are the ones who should take the responsibility, for kindness should begin at home, supporting needy parents. This is something that pleases God very much…But anyone who won’t care for his own relatives when they need help, especially those living in his own family, has no right to say he is a Christian. Such a person is worse than the heathen.” I Timothy 5:3-4, 8

Folks used to take care of their people a lot more a few years ago than they do now. The apostle Paul says that God shines on people who take care of their own. I know there are some circumstances where it just isn’t feasible, but as long as we can, we should take care of our parents and those in our families in whatever form we are able. Best case scenario is all siblings and family members pulling together to assist the one in need.

You know, we are told to honor our parents as well in Exodus 20:12. Some struggle with this because maybe their parents didn’t always do right by them. All I can say is, suck it up buttercup. The world isn’t fair but as a Christian are you going to be like Jesus and forgive them because “they know not what they do?” Are you going to harbor bitterness in your soul and cast them aside so they can reap what they sowed? Is that God’s heart? Even while experiencing the excruciating pain on the cross, Jesus had the presence of mind to ensure care for His mother, give comfort to the thief dying next to Him, and He even took a moment to ask Father to forgive all those who were there. Meditate on that for a minute…

PRAYER: Wow. Lord, thank You for modeling for me how I should behave. I acknowledge there is an expectation on my life to rise above the fray; to do better. I love You and I ask You to give me wisdom and patience with my parents and other family members who may require extra attention or help at times. I know in my heart You will be with us and give us what we need to get through. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.

Pastor Ricky and Jeannie Sinclair

From Ricky’s book, Miracle-at-Large, Ricky became an evangelist spreading the word of God through his testimony. He was a fire. He would go in, light it up and encourage people in the places he shared his testimony. When you’re an evangelist, you breeze in and breeze out, and you don’t have to worry about hurting anyone. But that was the start of the ministry. His evangelism was birthed from the book that came out, which gave him a platform. People started following us and we gave them resources and suggested churches to get plugged into. However, we developed a following of people that would not go anywhere else but honestly, it was not in our heart to start a physical church.

With us not wanting to turn people away, we started meeting together as a prayer group and started having a little teaching within the prayer group. But then, we were bursting out of our living room. Our house could squeeze 30 to 60 people in it butt here was not much you can do in it anymore with people wall-to-wall. We had John Mayers and his wife leading worship through singing and playing a guitar. We had all the elements for church, which led to people pressing us to start a church and they wouldn’t go anywhere else. With us growing but not ready for a church, we had to look into bigger spaces and started with one conference room in a hotel. However, we eventually consumed every conference room in the hotel as we continued to grow.

As we grew, we saw a lot of gifts and opportunities. As a result, we wanted to start a physical church where everybody was included and invited. Even if they seemed like they didn’t fit into a“traditional church”, they would be accepted at our church. I sought God and God spoke to my heart and said, “I want you to start a church and I’m going to send everybody that is like you to the church. You will have a church and they’ll be other churches, too. There will be people that I send to those churches, but you will become your own individual church with the people that I’m creating and building for your church.” That’s how we became our own identity and individual church with our own personality that God established because God put this in Ricky’s heart. Everyone from various backgrounds would be welcomed as family and they would have a place for them to go to church in a family… MiraclePlace Church.

Here we are still standing today with the same message from 2001: Everyone from various backgrounds are welcomed as family and this is a place for you to actually go to church in a family… Miracle Place Church in Baker, LA. Come as you are, You Belong Here!
