JOHN

Good Morning! I’m John Branning, Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. Have you ever heard the old fable of the frog that got cooked? According to the legend, someone wanted to cook a frog. But each time the frog was dropped into a pan of hot water, it jumped out. Then the cook got smart.  She placed the frog in warm water. The frog relaxed. Then gradually, the cook turned up the temperature of the stove. In fact, it happened so gradually that the frog never bothered to jump out and the frog got cooked.

Most people in some way or another have spiritual values. These values guide us in the decisions that we make and the way that we express God’s love to others. However, with all the struggles of life and the temptations that attack us, it is easy to allow our spiritual values to quickly become secular values.

I hope that you have a faith family - A community to call your own. If not, then let me offer Central United Methodist an option; because if we are not careful, our spiritual values can get cooked like that frog.
