Fellow Labourers-
Don't we all need a faith lift at this time? Could you use a Faith Lift?
We are facing perilous times. If you are brave enough to read the newspaper, then you will agree with me. I can't read the newspaper and hold a cup of coffee at the same time for fear of first degree burns from spilling because of shock from the daily headlines!
We need help. In these times of economic collapse, problems in our families, pay cuts, record amount of lay-offs, problems in our church families, shootings at schools and on and on, it's easy for our faith to diminish.
Now more than ever, we definitely need our faith to be strong. Our congregation needs to see our faith at work whenever we stand behind the pulpits on Sunday. They need to hear and feel our unwavering faith as we preach messages of hope in times of despair, of peace in time of trouble, and of love in a time world dissention.
All in all, we need a faith lift. In fact, we cannot be pleasing to God unless we are demonstrating faith, according to the writer of Hebrews. (Heb. 11:6)
Pax Vobiscum
Robert A. Stewart J.P.
Pastor
