2010.03.01 Monday Morning!

Greetings and best wishes from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church, in Vinita, Oklahoma.

On our Christian journey there are four highroads to travel. The first is the Damascus Road - the road of awakening. On it the Apostle Paul experienced a decisive spiritual transformation. As his life was steered in a new direction on that road, so must our life be.

On the Road to Damascus Paul's whole life - his thoughts, attitudes, actions - was changed forever. We need travel the Road of Awakening, keeping in mind spiritual exercise which will renew us daily.

The second high road is the Jerusalem Road of Commitment. Going to Jerusalem Jesus knew he was headed for death on a cross. Those who followed him were afraid. (Mark 10:32).

To follow Jesus means no reservation in dedication, commitment, whatever the cost.

Next week, we'll consider the other two highroads we must take as pilgrims, following our risen and ever present Master.

Cheers...as we travel together!

Richard
