Today in my quiet time, I was reading from the book of James in the Bible... James 1:27 says "Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles and refuse to let the world corrupt us."
And I was thinking... this week as we open our ministry center to the homeless men of salisbury, we are doing exactly what James is saying... we are practicing "pure and lasting religion"!
I am so greatful for a congregation that takes seriously the call to practice pure and lasting religion. That takes seriously the call to do something with our faith besides speak it! This week will be a hard week... with lots of challenges and not much sleep, but it will be a tremendous oppotunity to be part of something that matters to God and that will transform our lives!
