Top of the morning from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church, located in the heart of Vinita, Oklahoma.
These Monday Morning messages which began in September 2007, now find their way across the country and around the globe! I am surprised by and glad for the welcome they have received.
My intention is to reach out beyond our sanctuary with a pastoral concern. Our Christian faith, drawn from the rich source of the Bible, is profoundly inward and at the same time it is outreaching, with a will to action.
Faith is the activity of the whole life of every follower of Jesus!
Christ put a strong emphasis upon "wholeness of life". "Do you want to be made whole?" was a fundamental question he asked, and it is the message of the gospel to everyone.
The health of the body and spirit are integral to wholeness in life, and that is a reason daily quiet time is needed. At the start of summer I encouraged you to read, at your own pace, two books by Luke - the Gospel and the Book of Acts. Later I suggested you add the Gospel of Mark to your devotional reading list.
Today, I suggest some of my favorite readings from Psalms.
Psalm 1, 2, 8, 16:5-6, 19, 23, 24, 25:4-5, 34, 42:1-5, 8-11 and 43, 46, 67.
Good reading provides good company! Our Pearl of Value for this week comes from the Apostle Paul: 1 Corinthians 15:33 - "Bad company corrupts good character."
Good reading! Fond regards,
Richard
