Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Hopefully, all are fairing fairly well in this hot summer as we continue to address and adapt to life-situations challenged by a viral-pandemic. We bear all these challenges, personally and collectively, as we seek assuring guidance and direction from voices we can trust. And as Christians, we engage in continuous prayer, seeking God's presence and involvement in our daily lives so that we may be able to think and act in conformity to the way of life That Jesus has demonstrated for us. In short, our Christian faith should be the foundation from which we think and act, how we participate in this thing we call life.

But as we make our appeal to God for the gift of faith and the strength it provides, we can also look at what Jesus said in Matthew 7:21- "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven." These words should caution all of us to take seriously our relationship with God in Christ Jesus, and what God expects of us in the manner in which we live out our faith. Again, the focus seems to be on the manner in which our words to God have some substance, some footing, that our words to God seek God's direction and guidance for what we can and should do in the here-and-now. 

The "Lord, Lord" that Jesus refers to is important for our consideration. If our relationship with Jesus acknowledges that He is our Lord, that should impact an understanding that our lives are under His authority. When we cry out, "Lord, Lord," we seek not only His care for us, but also to listen to and respond to the manner in which He directs our lives that will conform to His will for us. Again, our Christian faith is to move us in the direction of living our lives under the direction of Christ's Lordship, to live by doing the will that God has for each and every one of us.

God's blessings and peace.  Pastor John

God's blessings and peace.  Pastor John

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Hopefully, all are fairing fairly well in this hot summer as we continue to address and adapt to life-situations challenged by a viral-pandemic. We bear all these challenges, personally and collectively, as we seek assuring guidance and direction from voices we can trust. And as Christians, we engage in continuous prayer, seeking God's presence and involvement in our daily lives so that we may be able to think and act in conformity to the way of life That Jesus has demonstrated for us. In short, our Christian faith should be the foundation from which we think and act, how we participate in this thing we call life.

But as we make our appeal to God for the gift of faith and the strength it provides, we can also look at what Jesus said in Matthew 7:21- "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven." These words should caution all of us to take seriously our relationship with God in Christ Jesus, and what God expects of us in the manner in which we live out our faith. Again, the focus seems to be on the manner in which our words to God have some substance, some footing, that our words to God seek God's direction and guidance for what we can and should do in the here-and-now. 

The "Lord, Lord" that Jesus refers to is important for our consideration. If our relationship with Jesus acknowledges that He is our Lord, that should impact an understanding that our lives are under His authority. When we cry out, "Lord, Lord," we seek not only His care for us, but also to listen to and respond to the manner in which He directs our lives that will conform to His will for us. Again, our Christian faith is to move us in the direction of living our lives under the direction of Christ's Lordship, to live by doing the will that God has for each and every one of us.
