God has always called his people to come together for times of worship and inspiration. “Man is so made that whenever anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish.” ~ Jean de la Fontaine “If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.” ~Charlotte Bronte “The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.” ~Mark Caine “It is a psychological fact that we cherish most what we have worked hardest to gain. The further we have come, the sweeter the celebration at the destination when we arrive.” ~Denis Waitley “’Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.’” ~ God (Isaiah 57:14)

Love is a virtue. It is an attitude of whole-heartedness about one’s belief. A man or a woman who has a heart for the Lord will undoubtedly accomplish great things for Him. Passionate love for God allows one to say no to sin and yes to God. They will care more for God’s honor than their own momentary pleasures. God’s heart longs for his people to be filled with love for Him. His word is full of promises that he desires to bless those who’s hearts are fully committed to Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). |

Update on an Eldership Plan |
|
Monday, 07 July 2008 |
|
“It was he (Jesus) who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors (elders, shepherds) and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service…” (Ephesians 4:11-12) I am grateful to the GSCC Teaching Team for devoting the past 9 months researching, discussing and praying about the role of elders for this congregation. I wanted to let you know where things stand and the plans. |

Jesus, age 12, found himself forgotten by his parents. His worried parents responded in typical fashion; “Son! Why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been terribly worried looking for you! He said to them, ‘Why did you have to look for me? Didn’t you know that I had to be concerning myself with my Father’s affairs?’” (Luke 2:48-49, Complete Jewish Bible; “my Father’s business”, KJV) So what was Jesus’ Father’s business? It was sharing his knowledge and faith in God. God’s heart and desire is for “all men to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim. 2:3-4). Jesus shared the same desire as he’s quoted as saying “…the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.” (Luke 19:10). |

2008 Apologetics Conference |
|
Monday, 23 June 2008 |
|
The 2008 apologetics conference was held at Elmhurst College in Chicago Illinois this month. In the past Christian apologetics were used by the early church fathers to defend the faith from people who made accusations against the body of Christ. This year, classes were offered on subject such as Neuroscience, Bible Archeology, and world view apologetics. Field trips to the oriental museum, the field museum, and a synagogue and mosque help to reinforce the material taught in the classes. I chose the field museum where an authentic full skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex (named Sue) was on display. It is one of the only places where almost all of the bones are authentic. |
