JOHN Good Morning! I’m John Branning the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. Have you ever noticed that when people are in love, they tend to forget everything else? Everything becomes secondary – cars, houses, money – nothing matters – it is all secondary to love. Then, when they fall out of love, as in a divorce, all of a sudden, those things mean everything! They argue about all the little meaningless things they ever owned together. Each wants it all for himself. The same is true with the Lord. Before we know Him, all we really have are possessions. But when we come to know God – truly know Him – those things mean very little – we're in love! We're willing to give up everything. Those people who are most in love with God and filled with His love are the least possessive and the least materialistic. If we have been wrapped up in our possessions, we've lost sight of our greatest treasure! All that stuff means nothing. Let go of it. Return to your first love. Lighten your heart and fall in love again with the love of God! We would love to be a part of your journey. Come visit us at Central and let us reclaim our name together.
