"If someone showed up with a good smile and glib tongue and told lies from morning to night—'I'll preach sermons that will tell you how you can get anything you want from God: More money, the best wines...you name it'—you'd hire him on the spot as your preacher!"
Is that true?
Faith wanted a pastor who could draw spiritual gifts out of the members, who could enliven the youth and their families, and inspire outreach in the community.
If we are focused on this mission, the going will be rough. Discipleship has always been. I can't wait until Saturday's reading, where the Lord tells us what is required of us. Are we up to the task?
Can we unite together as a family and take this on? It's only the most important thing we'll do in our lives: follow God and allow him to do his work through us. This is the kingdom and it is unfolding.

Yes the road is going to be full of challenges and will not be an easy one but if we are committed to do the work of God we need to stay on this path.
ReplyDeleteAs a community we need to come together and work as one. We need to learn to trust each other, accept others opinions and ideas and be open to change.
Everything is going to take time and patience. Having Faith that we are following God's plan is probably of utmost importance. Trusting our new leader is also very important and something that will also take some time. I have faith that everything will work out the way God has planned.
Be strong!
