From the Pulpit...

Last time we learned about energetically pursuing Christ because our highest priority as a Christian is to know Him and be like Him. That is what the apostle Paul was all about, and so we should be also. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. (2 Cor. 4:17) Follow Paul’s example; leave behind the junk and press forward toward Christ-likeness. Beware of the false believers who want to share their Christ-denying misery with you and recognize that you are citizens of heaven. You have a name better than to permit yourself to wallow in the world’s mess.
