A mid-week message from the Pastor:
Linda J. Vogel writes this: “The Spirit’s teaching enables us to discern our God-given gifts. In the meeting of our gifts and the world’s need, we discover our Christian vocation. The Spirit’s teachings speak to our hearts of things spiritual. Having the mind of Christ enables us to use our senses and our minds in disciplined and faithful ways; we are open to discern God’s justice and God’s compassion. Having the mind of Christ means thinking, loving, and caring beyond the boundaries of human time and understanding. Discerning goes beyond using our minds to figure things out. It goes beyond what our senses convey to us. Discerning is opening our hearts and minds to God’s Spirit so that we may understand the gifts that God bestows on us.”
Have a blessed week,
Pastor John
