April 2022 at Caledonia Congregational Church

Friends-
We should enter the month of April with care.

After all, it starts with a day dedicated to fools!

And who wants to be a fool?  Not me.  Not after I read what the Bible says about fools and foolishness.  Not after the clear warnings against it.  Not after the clear call to be wise.

And how do we do that?  By acknowledging that God is God, that he is Lord over all, that he is in charge.  We are told that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.  We are further told that the fool says in his heart that there is no God.  Raise questions.  Wrestle with your doubts.  But don't be so foolish as to declare that there is no God.

Or if you are that foolish, please keep your distance from me... I'm allergic to lightning!

You know what is also foolish?  Saying you believe in God, but living like you don't.  Living lives that don't honor him.  Worrying about every little thing.  Grumbling and mumbling instead of giving thanks.

This year this month gives us the greatest reason of all to trust and love God- Good Friday, and Resurrection Sunday.  On Good Friday, God demonstrates the depth of his love for us, and on Easter, the power he has over death.  So we have a choice- be foolish, or celebrate our almighty, all-loving God!

Choose well!
Gary
