The Beach Invites - From June 2009

I went to the beach yesterday afternoon for my first time in '09. My son and a friend of his went with me and we had a good time with other friends in the sand and surf. As I came off of the parking lot and over the dune to see the beautiful blugreenish ocean with nice little swells I felt relief come over my shoulders, mind, and even my soul. It was good to enjoy the sand, surf and sun and be with my son and friends. It was relaxing and challenging to walk into the water, paddle out and start trying to catch the first wave of '09. For a lurfer (a person learning to surf) the water and waves were nice. Good sets, not to mushy and just the right size for an inside lurfer. As I sat in my chair while takaing breaks and looked over the vast water and floated on my board in the water looking to the horizon while watching for swell to form I could not help but think how big God is and how small I am, yet the big God I worship knows my name, my weaknesses, my strengths, my concerns, my joys and my hopes. He knows me. That is good news. He is real, personal, and involved. That brings relief. It also makes me desire to invite others to Him just as I often invite others to the beach.

P.S.
At the end of the day my son and I took a few minutes and shared God's message of hope with our new friend. In doing so we found out that he had accepted Christ a few years ago by some others friends sharing with Him the message of Good News, the Gospel. CooleO.

My Captain

Out of the light that dazzles me,
Bright as the sun from pole to pole,
I thank the God I know to be
For Christ the conqueror of my soul.

Since His the sway of circumstance,
I would not wince or cry aloud.
Under that rule which men call chance
My head with Joy is humbly bowed.
Beyond this place of sin and tears
That life with Him! And His the aid,
Despite the menace of the years,
Keeps, and shall keep me, unafraid.

I have no fear, thought strait the gate,
He cleared from punishment the scroll.
Christ is the Master of my fate,
Christ is the Captain of my soul.

Dorothea Day

Caution For The Church

The local Church must be cautious of focusing on activity rather than the purpose of the church. Activity does not always accomplish the purpose of the church. Concentrating on the God given purpose of the church will almost always lead to accomplishing the purpose of the church and to church planning and activity that is very fulfilling, rewarding, exciting, joyful, world changing, Kingdom building, and challenging which invariably leads to a deeper and wider fellowship throughout the whole Church family.
