 From
the pastor's heart
I continue to be amazed at the incredible grace of
God. As our attendance grows weekly, God sends folks our way who have
much to offer. We must be reminded, however, that as folks become part
of the wonderful family here at SGBC, we make a commitment to llove
them, to minister to their lives, to help them become all that they
can be as they in turn provide the same commitment to us.
As the numbers increase, so does the possibility
that we will miss some opportunity to touch, to llove, to give as we
so often do during our Care Time in the Morning Worship service.
That's why it is so important that everyone who is willing get
involved in doing those things. We've discovered over the course of
our lives, that although prayer is a hard thing to do continually,
effectively and fervently, it is a whole lot easier than actually
reaching out to those around us and becoming the grace of God in their
lives as His Spirit ministers through us to needs. Take a moment to
look around you when you are standing in the Worship Service on Sunday
morning or evening. See somebody you don't know? See somebody who
looks like they are carrying the weight of the World on their
shoulders? Is that person across the aisle crying? What action would
Jesus take under those circumstances? He was always reaching out,
touching, speaking words of llove, and accepting what others found
repulsive. I'm sure that is in our job description. Let's be about it.
