Pastor's Corner

A well-known commercial featured a fellow roaming around, saying into his cell phone, "Can you hear me now?  Can you hear me now?"  He was trying to make a connection.  America has gone mobile, even in occupations.

A fleet of trucks along the East Coast relies on a woman living on the west coast to direct their up to the minute precise routes (even current detours), pickup and delivery time details, current location of their trucks, and who drives them. That is mobility.

Those belonging to Christ have been going mobile all along. Wherever we go we have the Lord with us, directing and empowering our lives.  We are told in the Bible, "Walk in the Spirit".  The indwelling presence of God and the life of His Spirit is with us wherever we go. "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof".  Jesus said "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Mt. 28:18-20).  That is the ultimate in mobility!

He's with us on the mountain top and in the lowest pit. He leads us in our homes and in our offices, stores, and schools.  He is moving His people on and tells us we are the "salt of the earth" and "the light of the world" as He calls the lost to a saving relationship with Him.  "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" Jn. 3:16.
