His Church at New River

Minister of Record: Douglas Scofield

The Oregon coast's landscape is subject to change, especially when a huge storm generates very large, pounding waves to tear away features at the land's edge. More than 125 years ago, New River (south of Bandon, Oregon) did not exist. A large creek known as Floras Creek dumped its waters directly into the ocean about 16 miles south of Bandon. Stormy weather in the winter of 1890 produced violent waves, and that pounding surf produced a huge berm of sand (foredune) extending along the coast for miles. The new foredune totally blocked Floras Creek's outlet, and to find its way into the ocean, the water flowed along a totally new course, collecting waters from several other small creeks and rills along the way. The waters became more than just Floras Creek, and so ... this became an 8-mile-long, gentle river (not a creek) paralleling the coastline, flowing northward to its exit into the Pacific ocean.

The River of Life is a river containing waters (experiences) from many, many lives. The lives of God's people flow together along the course of Christ Jesus. Every one in the River is baptized (immersed) in His New River.

Continuing the metaphor, the old lonely creeks and rills tumbled down the face of gnarly landscapes in life's flow, wrought with bitterness, greed, pride, lust and disobedience. But each one who abandoned that torturous ravine and dumped his waters into His New River ... the River of Life ... each has come to joy and peace in the unity of the Spirit of God. This New River offers fresh, clean drinking water (Living Water) for the world's thirsty souls. The water is clean and alive only because of the Work of Jesus Messiah (Yahushua; Yeshua ha Mashiach). The dirty little creeks and rills have Christ's imputed righteousness upon them, being purified by the blood of the Lamb; that blood imparts its identity (DNA) on the waters of the New River. His is a river teaming with Life.

God's grace imparts faith. Faith together with works empowered by the Holy Spirit produces good works by which His New River is world-renowned. Nothing stops His New River.

The analogy above, describing a spiritual New River, is limited (you can only take an analogy just so far before it fails in some ways to explain all that is reality).

His Church at New River is for the doing of the Blessed Strategy, so that the storehouse is filling, and so that every godly doctrine flowing in Christ's New River is kept. His doctrines govern the flow of life among His people, and how can they dare ignore these doctrines? His River reflects the image of Christ.

Please allow the New River analogy to minister in your heart according to the ways of the Holy Spirit who does His work in your individual life. Comments or questions are welcome. Please send to Douglas Scofield, using email.

His Church at New River is an office in the kingdom of heaven, serving whosoever may come to Our Father in heaven. The kingdom of heaven is a realm in which to gather and work. It is for the Daily ministration (see Acts 6), and it has several other purposes. The people who follow the Almighty have duty to offer themselves as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto the Supreme Authority in the Kingdom of Heaven. Consider it only as reasonable service, having faith through grace supplied from Our Father. His Church at New River serves elders who seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. Those who truly seek are those who watch:

Mark 13:34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
