Caring Brings Unity

Jesus was given a job to do - a mission - and he was going to do it. That’s why he asked, “Are There not 24 hours in a day?“ The disciples said, “Hurry up.“ Jesus said, “There’s a time for everything.“ Jesus had this majestic sense that his life made sense. Don’t put him up on a pinnacle and say, “that was all right for Jesus because he was divine.“ Jesus was the son of God, and he came to show us that we are partners with the law of the kingdom. What is that? “You reap what you sow.“ If you want a harvest, you must invest in the seed. You must sow the seed and then feel like a fool, just sitting back, giving it time to grow. Most of us are only aware of our own endurance and our own strength. The apostle Paul said, “When I discover I am weak, then I know I am drawing on the power of God.“ Friends, if we don’t believe anything, then we will not change anything. We need to believe that our lives, our problems, our troubles and our personalities are part of a larger scheme. We know this if we are part of a music band. We know it if we work on the bridge of a ship. We know it if we play on a team.

When the study is complete, we will be able to see on a 3D map where our city is leaking tax dollars, spending more than we collect, and where we are generating tax revenue sufficient to pay for the basic city services that we have promised ourselves. The streets, pipes, vehicles that serve us with police, fire, garbage and maintenance and all the public buildings that we enjoy and benefit from, even though they need climate control and upkeep.

A commanding general convened his staff and said to them, “Battles are won the day before.“ The planning that goes into a life determines how well it will succeed. A college professor said to a young lady on graduation day, “Understand that you are launching your ship into a dangerous ocean.“ “Yes, I know it,“ said the young lady, who then reached into her pocket, pulled a small Bible out, held it up and said, “but I’ve got a reliable GPS.“ The starting point of the journey with God is the realization that our sins are forgiven. I ask you one of the questions I was asked by the bishop at my ordination: do you believe in a pardoning God?
