Clay in the Hands

This week you have probably noticed that the posts have been around a common theme – the Church.  Today is following that same theme.  Believe it or not, there is a method to my madness (for those of you who know me that may be even more unbelievable).  I am playing with the idea of working toward Sunday’s sermon with the posts.  We will see how that turns out.

At any rate, I had the opportunity this morning to have breakfast with a wonderful group of people.  I have been in several different communities and a lot of churches and never have I experienced the unity and fellowship that we experience here in our town in the Ministerial Alliance.  My post yesterday talked about the Church (big C).  That is what I see when I meet with those folks.  Each church is called to a specific mission in our community but all of us work together toward the call to make a difference for Christ in our town.  It is a wonderful thing.

I am Baptist and most likely will die a Baptist.  But at the end of the day, Christianity should be about a relationship not a “religion.”  Praise God that the work of the Gospel can cross denominational lines!
