Welcome

This morning I have been reading some letters written to God by the children in one of our Sunday School classes. They are beautiful cards, obviously being prepared with great thought and care. I'm going to use these cards for the Children's Time in worship this Sunday. I particularly took note of the initials in one of the cards that read, WWJD. Most of us already know these initials stand for the question "What Would Jesus Do?"  To my knowledge this question first surfaced in Charles M. Sheldon's Christian Classic, In His Steps. The edition of that book I have in my library does not have a publication date, but the forward written by Charles Sheldon is dated 1935, so it's been around for quite some time! The thought behind this question is that we should ask it to ourselves when we are relating to people and to all the issues and events of our day. We then should listen to what the voice of God's Spirit says in our hearts what it is that Jesus would do. We then should do it without reservation or compromise.

I believe that God does speak directly to our hearts about the way we should live day by day in the smallest details of our lives. The issue then becomes, are we willing to do what we believe Jesus wants us to do ...without reservation or compromise? This can appear at first as very threatening, but I believe it can soon become a real adventure! Read more...
