Pastor's Corner

I have discovered often times in life we do not handle our problems, trials and tribulation; but they handle us. However, we are children of God and we should be able to handle all our problems! When I look at Mathew 11:28, I see there are some key ways to handle what is handling us. Let’s take a quick look at this one verse.

I was driving in the car one day and my mind begins to drift off into space. Later that same week a friend told me that his mind was telling him to retaliate against someone that did him wrong. I begin to ponder how our minds in some regard control what actions we will take; and I thought about how important it is for us to protect our minds from the devil.

Let me ask you a question. What’s the difference between a servant and a volunteer? A volunteer picks and chooses when and even whether to serve. A servant serves no matter what. A volunteer serves when convenient; a servant serves out of commitment. Someone said it well: “The servant does what he is told when he is told to do it. The volunteer does what he wants to do when he feels like doing it.”
