Victories

Hey all,

This is less of an actual post and more of a heads up. We are going to start really trying to use the blog again for teaching, encouragement and celebration. We now use the City to make announcements, promote events, coordinate ministries and all that jazz, thus the blog isn't needed for such things any more. So, we're putting it to a new (and better!) use.

What you'll be seeing a lot more of is celebration of various sorts. If work and time are being put into the blog, then of course I'd love for you to check it out regularly so that it has value. But, considering this particular use, I strongly encourage you to take advantage of it. Not only do I encourage you to, I'm asking you to for the sake of your own faith and godliness.

The reason being is that we will begin posting more about victories. Things that God is doing in our church and in the lives of our people. Our faith is always dependent upon and rooted in the prior faithfulness of God. That's why I say this is "for the sake of your own faith." If you don't ponder God's goodness to you, to your brothers and sisters in Christ, and to your church, then wherein lies your faith? The second something or someone comes along questioning it you'll fall prey to questions as well because of a lack of rock solid answers that you have experienced personally and seen in the lives of others.

So, to that end we will be sharing stories of hope, of triumph and of God's faithfulness. He deserves the glory. You need the joy of seeing Him work. Therefore we'll blog about God's goodness to his people. Check regularly. If you're tech savvy then use an RSS reader to stay constantly connected. Check out the Facebook page regularly in the Notes section to see our posts. Do whatever you need to to not miss out on sharing the joy of tasting and seeing that the Lord is good.
