August 2014 at Caledonia Congregational Church

8/1/2014

Friends-  
I am writing this just before heading out to points west, and the continuation of my sabbatical.  I want to thank all of you who have extended best wishes and prayers for our time away. Already God is showing me some things I need to see.  I imagine that He will continue to do so.  So, please, keep us in your prayers to that end.  

Our recent discussion about flags did not so much cause division among us, as it did reveal division that was already there.  Jesus prayed to his Father that we would be one, and we are.  But that doesn't mean we all have the same opinion.  In fact, I suppose there are any number of topics I could name that would be cause for division.  We don't need to discuss them all.  But we do need to realize that we do have differing opinions on many matters, and that our charge is to love each other despite the differences.  What we have in common- Jesus, his love for us, our love for him, his call to us to serve him- is far more important than whatever differences we might find.  

I pray that August will find our congregation growing stronger, deeper, and freer in the love Jesus has for us.  You are  a great congregation.  Let's continue together to grow into Christ-likeness and greater service to Him.   
With you in Him,  
Gary
