Inquiring Minds Want To Know

Rev. Judith Maynard — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:00:10 +0000

The gospel of Mark ends with Christ giving his followers their marching order to go into the entire world with his message. After Jesus’ resurrection he ministered for 40 more days on earth before his ascension into heaven, then the disciple banned together to follow his order.

When unbelievers face a crisis or turning point in their lives, they search for answers from authentic believers who may have shared the same struggles. In most cases, they silently observe day by day with inquiring minds, listening to your conversations and keeping a watchful eye on how you handle life’s struggles and disappointments. People are looking for an authentic relationship with God. They look to see if your personal relationship with God makes an authentic difference.

Are non-Christians searching for what we have? Absolutely! It is our mission to go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. When tragedy hits our neighborhood, we can offer our neighbors the peace that passes all understanding- the only good news that can make an eternal difference in their lives.

The church needs you! You need the church! Believers are the fuel for ministries. Twelve willing workers changed the world, but they did it together. Just imagine what we can do together as a church, as we change our community and world. Pray that God will minister to you, as you minister to others.

Let’s Take a Walk

Rev. Judith Maynard — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:10:54 +0000

Can you imagine actually walking with God? Adam and Eve, Moses, Enoch, the Israelite camps, the disciples and followers of Christ all had a blessed and unique opportunity; they had an intimate, up close and personal walk with either God or Jesus, God in the flesh.

God wants to walk with us, but won’t come uninvited. Invite God to walk with you. Prepare yourself mentally to make a concentrated effort to achieve a closer walk with God.

Commit to a daily time of meditation as you read scripture and pray. Even if you only start with five or ten minutes a day, you will find yourself increasing your time spent with God.

Don’t be afraid. God longs for our fellowship as we are created to worship and walk with God. Once you become intimate and build a relationship with God, your relationship with the ones you love will be more significant and even smoother. Your fears will be calmed and you will experience true peace and joy as you walk with God.

Ask for wisdom and guidance as you discover your role in our Fearless Giving in Fearful Times journey. Decisions and choices made in life will take on a new meaning. You’ll even have a new bounce in your step as you walk down the pathway of life.
