During staff meeting this morning I shared from Colossians 1:21-22 that says, "Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation."
Tonight we will be celebrating Communion together as a church family at the Lutheran Church of Our Savior in Mt. Pocono. I want to encourage everyone to come and give thanks to God for the cross. What a special opportunity to realign our hearts, minds and lives with God through Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
In light of what Christ did for us, says Paul, we should strive to live holy lives. No more playing games with God or each other. Time to take off the old self and to put on Christ. Time to build an entirely new wardrobe that is characterized by peace, love, compassion and kindness. Time to change.
