We had another outreach this past weekend. We passed out cookies for all the males in honor of Father’s day. I always find it interesting and amusing that people always think there are strings attached to giveaways. Many guys seemed apprehensive at first. This says a lot about our society. We seem to think that nothing in this world is free. This may be the case for many things in our life but it is not a principle. Principles are timeless and remain the same regardless of the situation. I believe this is one of the issues with accepting Christ as Lord and Savior. In our minds there is always something for us to do in order to earn salvation or earn a gift. By the very nature of the word, gift assumes that something is given for free. Overall, the cookies were accepted by many guys. It was appreciated by a lot of them as well. It was good to see our team out in the community. We had more people than we needed but it was still good.
This past weekend also marked a milestone in our family. Our oldest daughter graduated from high school this past weekend and now will be looking at going to college. One down…three to go. Now, we need to focus on the last three. Isaiah, the youngest started school the same year our oldest graduated. That is interesting. I never thought about it until today.
Amazingly, the time between our services seems like it has taken forever. Time actually seemed to slow down this month. I feel like there are so many other things to do but I’m not too worried about it. Everything will be done in due time. We received our latest door hangers late last week. They came out exceptionally well. We are learning something new with each thing we do. I never claimed to know it all and this helps to take the pressure of me and the team. I view everything as a chance to learn something new. These door hangers have definitely been a learning experience. It has been a time of growth for me as well. This…my friends, is one of the biggest things that our church wants to be about…GROWTH! If you really want to grow in your faith then start taking leaps of faith for God. He wants to grow us. The question we need to ask ourselves is…how much do we want to grow?
Until next time…
