I am simply amazed at the love
and support you give me as your pastor. I don’t let you know how much I
appreciate and love you often enough. If the truth be told, this is something
that would take a letter each week to you. I love you and enjoy so much being
the pastor of this wonderful flock. Thank you for listening intently to God’s
Word each week, for putting up with my weaknesses and failings, for blessing my
family, for faithfully honoring God by striving to get the
Too often we put off things
until tomorrow that we should do today. My Grandma Linnerud had this wooden
coin thumb tacked to her cork board in the kitchen called a “tuit” and when
somebody said to her, “I’ll do that when I get around to it”, she would show
them that coin. If you will allow me, please let me encourage you from the
Scriptures we looked at in Hebrews last Sunday morning…
“But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called ‘today,’
that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.” (Hebrews
3:13)
What step is God asking you to
take today? Let me encourage you to take that step today.
What relationship is God asking
you to build today for the sake of the gospel? Let me encourage you to begin
building that relationship today.
What friend is God asking you to
contact today? Let me encourage you to make that contact today.
What sacrifice (time, energy,
money, etc.) is God asking you to
make today? Let me encourage you to make that sacrifice today.
What letter or card of
encouragement is God moving you to write today? Let me encourage you to write
that today.
What visit is God prompting you
to make today? Let me encourage you to get in the car and visit them today.
Today may only be the beginning
of your obedience, but at least it’s a start. All our obedience has to start
somewhere, with someone ,and at some point. And when tomorrow rolls around
remember: we don’t call tomorrow “tomorrow” when it arrives, we call it today. Each day represents a brand new
start with new opportunities to obey God. So let’s do today what God calls us to do while we can still call today today.
Grace & Peace,
Scott
