About Sunday

A few reflections about Sunday.
1. In the same spirit as the Geico commercials - Did yesterday's sermon create some tension in the church? Is it a bad idea to get into a snowball fight with pitching great Randy Johnson?
2. Tension is a good thing, however. We're stretched thru tension. We grow thru tension. And because of tension, we make decisions.
3. I am still amazed at God's challenge from Malachi 3:10 - "Test Me in this".
4. I read this post the other day - "Humanity has ever been the same. Gold is to be a servant. It is when we elevate it to a god that we are in serious trouble. "The love of money is the root of all evil." If you have means, make them count for the Master." Very well put.
5. Isn't it so true that sometimes we can get so busy talking religion that we neglect to do the practical! The church is called to make a difference. You and I do our parts by giving, serving, loving and sharing.
6. The statistic about Christians and tithing still gets me -- People that call themselves "believers" give less than 2% of their income!!! That astounds me!!!
7. It's incredible how we will entrust our eternity to Christ, but we don't trust Him with our finances.
8. I hope many of you will take the challenges from the sermon seriously. If you will, you'll find that God is faithful in more ways than you could ever imagine!!!
9. Hope to see you next week. We're going to talk about "walking the talk".
10. Kudos to Adam Hatton!!! Officiated his first marriage this weekend!!!
Love to you all. kb
