Dear Church Family,
Are you a “hoarder”? You might have seen the television show with that title. The show featured people who were unable to part with even the tiniest possessions. They filled their homes, their garages and every square inch of their space with stuff. It would take days to clear everything out.
Sometimes, Christians become hoarders. When we look
at all God has given us and refuse to share it with others. Think about all that God has blessed you with. Did you realize that He blessed you so that you can be a blessing?
I hope you recognize your greatest blessing is the good
news about Jesus. Once you embrace Him and experience His salvation, that good news is not to be hoarded but shared. Once you begin growing in knowledge and understanding, those lessons are not to be hoarded but shared. Once you develop a prayer life and a daily walk with the Lord, that discipline is not to be hoarded but shared.
Our Lord commissioned us to go and make disciples and teach them all we have been taught. He did not call us to
be hoarders. He called us to be fishers of men. Let’s go fishing!
I am blessed to worship and serve Him with you.
-Brother Jim
