You are an electronic roadside billboard.
Christians are indwelt by the Holy Spirit; thus, the one true living God is always with us in all circumstances. Wherever we are we are living, breathing billboards. What others take note of on our figurative billboard is our Christian witness to our family, friends, and the world around us. The accuracy and quality of this penultimate witness is dependent on our fulfilling our commitment to the Savior.
James, the half brother of Jesus addresses this responsibility upon believers in his book of the New Testament (James 1:19-27; 2:14-26). Under divine inspiration he presents the truth that one’s claim to being a Christian can only be proven by an observable outward transformation from a life of disobedience and conflict with God to one of loving obedience to God’s will through the power of the Gospel works of Christ. A Christian’s heartfelt following of God’s ways, post-salvation is a daily expression and proof of the miraculous transformation which occurs in every member of the Body of Christ (the Church).
WE who were dead in our sins are redeemed into a life, in its totality that exemplifies the model of Jesus. All that we say and do is to be of holy purpose. We are the expression of the perfect presence of God to a lost and darkening world. We are the light of the world. Read John 1:1-11…
The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18ff) is given to us by the resurrected Christ and is the responsibility of each true believer. Our transformation from eternal death to eternal life begets our witness which is the pathway for the lost persons salvation. Our billboard of witness shines for them on the road of their darkness.
Blessings, Pastor Tom

June is here already! Summer will soon be ‘official’. Now to get into new routines. Children are home for the summer, but so busy with sports etc., that time will soon fly by.
This is a time to find family times together – times they will remember for a long time. Just a P/B sandwich under a tree in your back yard can turn into a fun experience. Time well spent can be your best gift. Once gone, it cannot be replaced. Children grow up, move out and away, but memories last forever. Be sure and make some good ones. I am glad our kids were raised in a more relaxed time – when you could pack a small lunch, take a drive along a creek bank, let the kids wade, eat, talk, laugh, and enjoy the moment. Sad that too many kids today will never experience that. Social media has taken over what used to be family time. Conversations are spoken or typed on a device – we need more face to face time. Most things had to be innovative because money was scarce. Makes me wonder if young folks will call these the ‘good old days’ when they get older!
As summer arrives many things change – such as choir practice. We take a summer break and fill in with ‘specials’ of various kinds. Sing, play an instrument, do a skit, read a poem, we are open to it all. If you have ideas or suggestions, please let me know. The calendar is pretty open as of yet.
I want to thank the Choir members for their dedication and sharing of their talents. We have had another successful year and we can always add another voice. If you enjoy singing, think about joining us in the Fall.
I would also like to give a shoutout to those who help with our sound system. So many times, we take the behind the scene people for granted. We sure notice if there is a problem or they are not there. Everyone can use an “Atta boy/girl”!
Mom’s tidbit: Don’t leave God at home when you go on vacation.
Until Then ! Edwinna
