A mid-week message:
Douglas W. Johnson and Alan K. Waltz write this: “A reading of the New Testament, especially the Gospels that tell what Jesus looked for in people, produces a picture of a quality church member as one who has been touched and changed by the Holy Spirit. He or she is committed to doing the will of God even though
sin will test the commitment. Over the years the church has required a part of a person’s commitment to God is expressed by attendance at worship and regular observance of certain disciplines of a holy life such as prayer, sacrifice, and care for others. To specify how these must be done or carried out is not only
inappropriate but is arrogant. God’s relationship to people determines how they should pray, sacrifice and care for others.”
Have a blessed week,
Pastor John
