The Pastors Pen
Our Hurting Community
Normally it is great when you get some thing right! In this case, not so!
I refer to our vision and mission statement
and how, even after seven years, it is
frighteningly appropriate. Do you know
the statements, especially the part
referring to a hurting community?
The current economic crisis has only
made things worse, placing even more
pressure on individuals and families. I am
absolutely horrified at the amount of
houses that are suddenly up for sale in a buyer's market.. Today it seems if you are
able to stay in your home you are among
the privileged few.
Please know that we are here to help
anyone underpressure of any form in any
way possible, whether member or not.
Sometimes folk just need an independent
ear.
Secondly, I am absolutely convinced that
as we live truly Christian lives we will
escape the worst that the world throws at
us. Even in the current depressed economic climate and troubled times I am
deeply encouraged by the prosperity and
security of Christian families.
Faithfulness and commitment to God in
word and deed are a very sure foundation
for life and especially during troubled
times.
