Eternal Value

One of the things I love about working at a church is the eternal value of what we do. The eternal value means that were are not always going to see the fruit of our labors. This can be discouraging at times. While we are doing everything we can to be a friendly church, a church where people feel welcome and at home, a staff that cares about those who are part of our body, the one comment I keep making to Pastor Scott is that we keep preaching the gospel. I believe we have been doing a very effective job of sticking to a strong literal interpretation of scripture with deep exegesis and delivering it in methods that are relevant to and connects with those in our services. As long as we keep doing that, we can hold to God’s promise that His Word will not return void. While we may not see the returns in our life times, we can trust and believe that God’s promises are true and that He will use His Word to accomplish His purposes in His time. And there is no greater thing I can think of trying to achieve in the work He has called me to and the work He has called each of us on staff to. It is great to have that confidence.
