DENNIS
Good Morning. The Bible tells us that our faith is more precious than gold because gold tarnishes and
perishes. Our culture, however, emphasizes the materialistic side of life rather than the faith that will
grant us eternal life.
How often do we push over and step on in order to get what we want! We want the bigger and better;
bigger homes, better cars, or the fastest boats.
The church is calling us to pause for a moment and consider how precious does each of us hold our
faith? Are we choosing it over the things that are perishing? Christian teaching explains that life is a
gift that must be used wisely. It should be used to build up and not tear down, to create and not
destroy, to love and not hate. Jesus said he came to us so that we may not only have life, but have it
more abundantly.
I'm Dennis Gossett, Associate Pastor, at Central United Methodist Church where we emphasize faith in
Jesus Christ that is more valuable than anything that is comprehensible in this world.
