A mid-week message from the Pastor:
William O. Paulsell writes this: “Holiness is a gift of grace. Its qualities cannot be imitated or faked. If we try to act them out, people will sense our inauthenticity, for such gifts come from deep intimacy with God. How can we cultivate such gifts in our own lives? It would be nice if we could take a course guaranteed to produce personal holiness or find some exercise or technique that would make us saints. But, of course, it is not that simple. It is not a matter of technique; it is a matter of values, of commitment, and, more than anything else, of love- love for the God who created us and has called us to discipleship.”
Have a blessed week,
Pastor John
