A Moment's Notice:
Striving for Awareness of Each Moment,
Reflecting on Events of the Moment
Our church’s worship leader and his family said farewell to
our congregation Sunday. He’s moving on
from his unpaid position at our church to follow his long-held dream of
becoming a minister: this week he starts serving his new church family as a
youth pastor.
Dreams don’t
come cheap or easy. The security and
benefits of a full-time job were set aside, and the family will have to enter a new circle of fellowship. Still, this
couple and their children seem eager to start this adventure, confident that
they’re following a path illuminated by their Lord.
The title
for this entry is taken from the sermon our now former worship leader delivered
yesterday. The phrase comes from
Revelation 21:5: “Behold, I am making
all things new.” The Bible passage
describes Christ’s return and the creation of a new heaven and a new
earth. But if Jesus exists inside and
outside of time, the same yesterday, today, and forever, can He make things new
now?
I think
so. The real question is, am I willing
to be remade? This blog is my modest
effort at a new thing, but it can only be a good thing, a true thing, a thing
that rises above my limitations if I remain open to following the One Who knows
me best.
I hope I never become too old to become new.
