A mid-week message from Rev. John Wilson
Jan Johnson writes this: “To weep with the suffering does not mean, however, that we have a good cry and get on with other things. It is more that we have a good cry and we are never the same.”
Have a blessed week,

A mid-week message from Rev. John Wilson
James McGinnis writes this: “In caring, Jesus is our model and leader. Each day Jesus retreated from the demands of serving others to be prayerfully with his God. Then he was better able to come down from his mountain retreat to minister more fully to those needing and pleading for his love. He turned away no one, but he also didn’t try to do it all by himself. He enlisted others to extend God’s caring to all, especially to ‘the least’ of God’s people.”

A mid-week message from Rev. John Wilson
James McGinnis writes this: “’Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect,’ Jesus told his disciples. The Hebrew word translated here as perfect actually translates better as compassionate or merciful. Jesus wasn’t urging us to get a 4.0 grade-point average or never to make a mistake. He was urging us to love as completely as God loves- concretely, wholeheartedly, and universally. God’s perfection is love, for God is love.”

A mid-week message from Rev. John Wilson
Francis of Assisi wrote this: “A servant of God cannot know the extent of his patience and humility as long as all goes well with him. But when a time comes that those who should treat him well do the opposite, then he shows the true extent of his patience and humility and no more.”

William Law writes this: “Humility does not consist in having a worse opinion of ourselves than we deserve or in abasing ourselves lower than we really are. But as all virtue is founded in truth, so humility is founded in a true and just sense of our weakness, misery, and sin. Those who rightly feel and live in this sense of their condition live in humility.”
Have a blessed week,
Pastor John
