Something To Think On
August 9th, 2008A church in this area recently got a new Pastor after being without one for almost a year. I HAVE to admit, this new Pastor (who’s not really an official Pastor yet….more on that later…) has brought some GREAT ideas with him that he is slowly incorporating. One of those ideas is adding an insert (or two) to the bulletin on Sunday mornings. On one of these inserts here a couple of weeks ago, there was a little paragraph about one of the things that the church is supposed to do. It said something about bringing encouragement and faith to those who are feeling down and lost because of “the cares of this world”. Too many times, that little act of caring gets lost in the hustle and bustle of daily life. And I HAVE to admit that, as a member of ANY church, it is one of the things that some people need the MOST!!!
Think about it for a minute….do the people of YOUR church do that? Do they offer endless encouragement when things get rought? Are they available, no matter how dark the days get? Is there that certain someone who ALWAYS has the warm smile and encouraging word and the warm hug JUST when you need them? I don’t think a church can TRULY serve and worship God WITHOUT those qualities!!!
Maybe I’ll write more about what this new Pastor is doing another time, but for tonight, I guess that’s your “Food For Thought”, so you can put that thought on simmer and mull it over for awhile.
