Wouldn't it be nice if the church was a place to fellowship, serve each other and to praise God? Well, most of the time it is! Unfortunately, our church is going through a major crisis at the moment and we need prayer. Please pray for the people causing the hurt, the pastors (my Dad and Rob), the people in all 3 congregations of the parish and the Lutheran Church of Australia.
I must say, that it is in these difficult times that we have really felt the love and support of many of the members of the church community and I just want to say thank you to everyone who has given this support to dad and our family. Thank you thank you thank you.
I am a sinner. I am weak and I make plenty of mistakes but it really makes me dispaopinted when people who claim Jesus as their Saviour blemish his name. I believe in forgiveness but I also believe in the words of James - "hearing the word without putting it into practice is useless." I am tired of people being turned away from the church because of the church. Wouldn't it be nice if people tried a little harder to love their neighbours, speak the truth and walk in the light.
Please - Don't be turned away when you see others make mistakes, chances are, you have made a few of your own!
