Today we talked about a paradox in the Christian life. We live with a tension between comfort and continual change. Both are good. It is good to experience the Holy Spirit as our "Comforter." (It is not so good to fall into complacency.) At the same time it is good to experience the life-changing power of the Holy Spirit who is continually transforming our lives and keeping us authentic in changing environments.
As we consider steps prescribed during our Healthy Church consultation I hope we will be increasingly sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. I hope we will be sensitive to the whispers and nudges of grace that move us through life. I hope we sense the God "vibes" that alert us to how and where the Lord is at work.
There is no question but that God is moving in the lives of people in the mission field we are invited to reach.
The whole point of our HCI is to discover ways to more effectively and fruitfully engage the mission field that God calls us to reach.
It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day - prayer, worship, Word - it all makes for a day of experiencing the presence of God.
Blessings.
