I am so grateful for the sentiments. Really, God is working and in his time things will become clear. Your words are a comfort and encouragement, friends!
RG…thanks for the encouragement. A lot of investment on your part and others has indeed paved the way. I surely hope that is not forgotten as there is so much more to do. Let’s see life change, not just hairs standing up in our worship.
Juliet…Thanks for your comment. Truly, MANY followers of Jesus think as I do and I sure hope you get to actually meet some of us someday soon. DON”T MOVE YET…we have not even had chance to have a coffee.;)
Your point about America is well put. It is truly “American” to support freedom to worship as one chooses! Yes, we have differing world views and ideas and faith but we are still people living in a community and my faith teaches something shared in yours…love your neighbor.
The Great Commandment indeed is to love God. The Second is to love your neighbor. I think we can find a pattern there.
My concern is when we put our actions of service as idolatry by putting that as what we worship rather than Christ. Our kids and loving them can be more of a focus than Jesus, right? Anything, even good things.
