Today’s Thought “Campaigns of Futility” G. Ward

“We love because he first loved us.” 1 John 4:19

Chants of Happy Easter rang from our many congregants on yesterday, prompted by their pastor (yours’ truly) to then be corrected by a few to say Happy Resurrection Day. I believe this to be entirely semantical (e.g. tomato / tomah-to) when plans individually fail in reciprocating faithfulness (Jas.1:22). Surely if you state the latter in holiday terms your righteousness proves more prudent (No! - *Ro.3:10)? Castigations from the religious incite inopportune connectivity with the Holy One by more highlighting the pagan origin with such celebratory practices; as if they really believe the Easter Bunny delivers delectable chocolates to varied homes each year. The babies just want candy.

Talk will never unfold a relationship intended from Holy God unto man, until it’s accompanied by compassionate oversight of insignificant points (1 Cor.9:19-23).

Happy Monday!
