God is doing great things through us. We just handed out 6,000 pnds of sweet potatoes and tons of canned food. People were streaming in off the highway to get free food. What a great time to bring joy and goodwill to men. People really need to see God's love in action these days that are full of crime, poverty and joblessness. There seems to be a spirit of cynicism and skepticism permeating our society. Good will is in short supply and violence and abuse seem to be more commonplace than ever before. Our TV society has changed the norm from the world of “Norman Rockwell" to the immoral lives of the Jersey Shore crowd.
Let me fill you in on a little secret: people don't live like that and they don't talk or dress like those hoochie mammas either. Well, in the real world, that is. On the left coast and the right coast they are living in a post-Christian Zoo. Not a society- but a zoo. Only animals act so vicious and immoral.
Thank God for the rest of us. We actually have standards, morals and a deep sence of propriety. We have clearly defined standards of decency and moral public conduct that are a part of the American ethic. As much as Hollywood would like us to act like there are no standards we refuse to acquiesce. Let's not let the left and right coasts redefine who we are and how we act in society. As children of God and those expecting a future judgment we must always act decently and with dignity. We must never lose sight of the ever watching eye of the creator who expects us to represent him well.
I love all of you and hope you have a happy Thanksgiving.
To Him we give thanks
Pastor Skipper
