Who We Are.
As Pastor Steve shared with us this past Sunday, God does not want us to merely listen to the words of Scripture, and then remain unchanged… God wants us to actually do what it says, as we become the kind of person that reflects the character of God.
 
It's all about character.
 
All too often, we fall into thinking that God is looking for our religious obedience. We think that He is keeping track of how often we attend church, how much money we give, how often we read our Bible, or how much time we spend in prayer. But God is not merely interested in our religious activities... what He cares about is the kind of person we are becoming.
 
The whole Law is fulfilled in love.
 
Reading the Bible is certainly important, but only because it can shape our hearts and form our character. In the same way, spending time in prayer is also important, not merely as a religious exercise, but because this is where we can connect relationally with God, and learn to discern His voice speaking to us. These are not religious observances to check off... they are ways that God forms who we are. God wants us to live in and experience His love for us, and to allow that love to change who we are... and then He wants us to extend that same love to others.
 
Loving God. Loving Others.
 
So may we become the kind of person that reflects the character of God. May our love and compassion for others compel us to act. May we become the kind of people who do something to make this world a better place. We are all less than perfect. This current world is terribly broken. But God invites us, as followers of Jesus, to be a part of His solution.

May we walk in the Image of God this week!

Scripture of the Week
Romans 13:9-10 (NIV) -- The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not covet," and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Sunday was a reminder that winter was not quite done with us yet. I trust that those who were at our in-person service got home safely!

In our text from Sunday, James drew another line in the sand as we realize that being a Christ-follower is supposed to look a certain way... and by design... also NOT look a certain way.

As we read, study, and meditate on the scriptures... as we commune with Christ-in-us... may we continue to become all that He intends for us to be. Let's continue to grow and change!

I love being your pastor!
Steve
