There was an interesting thing that happen at the Heritage Days parade on Saturday for me. A new church is going to open and it is called Rethink Church. I did not think of it much initially but then I started to think about what I was to rethink and that caused me to come to a simple conclusion. What I have think about is whether or not I am trying to do church life God's Way or am I going to try to do church using man's thoughts and methods. I am OK to rethink church life as long as I am going to put my energy in doing church life with God's strength and power along with doing what God wants us to be doing. Jesus said that He would build His church, Matthew 16:18. It is all about cooperating with God and being His servant by obeying and walking in His ways. This is not just to be a public statement to look good but we must be committed to the Lord Jesus in ways that we are working alongside Him when He is building His church. That is my desire and goal and trust that You will join with me in building His church in this community by working under the authority of Jesus as the Head of His church.
May the love of the Father, the grace of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit be with us.
Pastor John Backes
