A mid-week message from the Pastor:
Richard M. Gula writes this: “When we begin to confine God to specifically religious areas of life, we are forced to turn away from the ordinary experiences of life in order to be touched by the gracious reality of God. Yet this is not the way it was for Jesus. The fundamental message of Jesus about God is that human life is the home of God. Do not look anywhere else. All the parables of Jesus are stories about experiencing God. These stories are filled with very human characters and very human experiences. Yet none of them ever mention ‘God’ directly….For this reason, our relationship to God and our response to God cannot be relegated to special activities or special moments. Our relationship and response to God are going on all the time, whether we want them to or not.”
Have a blessed week,
Pastor John
