BOB
Good morning! This is Bob Peden of Central United Methodist Church. Are we not living in exciting
times? The world is changing before our very eyes. Often those within the church see any change as a
threat. They would have the church close ranks, build up the defensive walls, and proclaim the demise
of this evil generation.
In doing so, we often drive away many whom the Lord would save. I am convinced that in times such
as this, Jesus Christ would have the churches shed their skins, tear down the walls that exist, and grow
in grace and humility. He would have us break free to celebrate the God of new beginnings.
Open up our churches to demonstrate a God of love and forgiveness.
The gospel writer John tells us, AGod sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save
the world through him.@ Our churches should reflect that Good News.
