Monday Morning Perspective

Yesterday's service was one of my all time favorites.  We honored our Aiken Public Safety Officers with Buckets of Hope and a standing ovation.  We are filling these buckets with different things and giving one to each member of Aiken Public Safety.  It's a small token of care and compassion and love for those who lay it on the line every day for our safety and as they hurt, we hurt along with them.
We continued our series in 1John looking at what it really means to be a Christian.  My prayer is that for those who have been unsure and questioning their salvation, they took the opportunity to nail it down and know for sure.  Praise God we can know that we know that we know we are saved.
I love how Eddie closed with sharing his biggest burden as a pastor...people who say they are Christians but live in darkness.  They listen to the world's view of things taking advice from the likes of  Dr. Phil and Oprah and psychics instead of praying and digging into God's Word.  As he said, "how's that working for you?".  So many cycling in and out of seasons of sin based on their feelings at the moment.  We are praying that  more and more Christians will live Jesus out loud and make a difference.  It's the only way to live!!
