Greetings New Hope Lutherans and Friends

Life on Planet Earth is ah changing!  Fast!!  What to do?  

The answer is simple and complex.  

The simple answer is to grapple with the Jesus message.  Speak and act accordingly.

How to speak, act, and grapple with the message of Jesus is far more complex.  

Seems to me love is the most illuminating point.  And our congregation helps with that!

Seems to me that congregations like New Hope, have the opportunity to be the light of love.  Each of us individually and together are  “…the body of Christ…” as Saint Paul described.

We’re not all of the same political persuasions.  We don’t all share same music preferences.  We don’t all agree on the stewardship and social issues of our time.  BUT we all agree that Jesus loves us and so, therefore, our Christian calling is to love each other.  We’re not part of an exclusive, private faith nor a secret sect.  Thus the love energy is a calling to reach out and love others.  Even those very different than ourselves.  

So…saddle up.  Hold on tight.  Stay with others.  Why?  Well…we won’t get lost.  God’s love will lead us through.  And we get to bring others along too.  

Here we go!

Greetings New Hope Lutherans and Friends 

For many years, I’ve been thinking about the history of “salvation” teachings in the Church, beginning amongst the first Christians.   So, I’ve decided to write a series of short essays.  Limited to 500 words each.  Easy reads...click on the button to begin :)
