Dear Friends,   

  

Join me in welcoming our newest member:

Molly brings our membership to 389

 

We had another awesome 5th Quarter last Friday giving a safe environment to 315 youth.  A special thank you goes out to the Haznedl family who were the sponsors for the evening, and to the Lifer's small group who provided the food.  Come out this Friday to see what this event is all about (9:30-11:30PM). 

 

As always remember - God is GOOD!  ALL the time!

 

If you have not taken the survey, please do so this week.  See the link below.  The survey will close on September 15.  If you have questions you may ask Phil White or any of the Elders.  Thank you to those that have already taken the time to enter your information. 

  

Your pastor and friend...

This Week's Devotional
This Week's Devotional

Most people would agree that life is a painful mixture of good and bad. It's true in marriage, friendship, family, work, and church. Yet we are surprised and disappointed when self-centeredness takes the stage within a fellowship of those who seek to worship and serve Christ together.

 

When the apostle John wrote to his friend Gaius, he commended the truthful living and generous hospitality of those in his church (3 John 1:3-8). In the same fellowship, however, Diotrephes, "who wants to be head of everything" (v.9 Phillips), had created an atmosphere of hostility.

 

John promised to deal personally with Diotrephes on his next visit to the church. In the meantime, he urged the congregation: "Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God" (v.11). John's words echo the instruction of Paul to the Christians in Rome: "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Rom. 12:21).

 

In a heated conflict, we may be tempted to "fight fire with fire." Yet John urges us to turn away from what is bad and follow what is good. This is the pathway that honors our Savior.


For Further Study

Be patient and humble in conflicts (Rom. 12:12-21; Gal. 6:1).
Follow the guidelines in Matthew 18:15-18 with the desire to restore erring fellow Christians. As light overcomes darkness, goodness can overcome evil.
