June - July Steeple
Pastors Letter
To Our Dear Church Family,
The Fourth of July was always a big day in the Grow family, my Mom’s side. The whole clan would gather at my uncle’s farm, there would be games, music, and fun. I heard it said many times after the Fourth, summer’s over. Well this year, the Fourth is almost here and it feels like we haven’t had much of a summer.
Life feels like that to me lately. I can’t seem to keep track of the days. Weeks and months go by and I don’t know where they went. I suppose by the time I write another letter to you I’ll be thinking of Fall and not knowing where summer went.
There’s a danger in summer for me. There are so many things that need to be done. I go from one project to another and never get done all the things I want to. When I’m honest, I must confess, the temptation is to sacrifice the most important time, my Jesus time, to get the other things done. Be assured the devil is in that temptation. In any temptation our defiance must be God’s Word. When Jesus was tempted by Satan His defiance was the Word. Shouldn't that be our standard also? When you don’t spend time with the Bible your defiance isn’t what it should be. There’s a stray cat that has been coming around our house. This cat is a skilled hunter and reminds me of how the devil operates. He or she sits motionless a few yards from our bird feeder until the prey gets used to him being there. Then it’s game over. When we get comfortable with the devil being around, it's game over.
Summer’s here, enjoy the time, for far too soon it will be over. Just don’t forget what’s the most important and always will be, Jesus. There’s an enemy crouching in the weeds just waiting for you to get comfortable with him being there. If you are going to get comfortable, get comfortable with Jesus.
In Jesus’ Service,
Pastor Tom and Sherri
