JOHN

Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church.

“As Iron sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17

As a Lead Pastor and a Chaplain, I have felt at times that we embrace our weaknesses as a necessary part of life, rather than allowing them to identify areas in our lives that need work. It seems that we wallow in our weakness and ask others to wallow in theirs. I want to share with you a prophetic word if you are in this position. STOP IT! There is absolutely nothing to admire in a person that allows the challenges of life to trap them in a pit of despair. Jesus has not called you to accept your weaknesses but simply to identify them and allow him to turn them into strengths.

In the Army when you exercise and your muscles ache, they tell you it’s just weakness leaving the body. The more you turn your weaknesses into iron, the weakness will leave the body.
