Saturday Night Again?

Saturday night comes with tremendous regularity- every 7 days; give or take. I sit here polishing my sermon, looking forward to tomorrow morning because it is the only morning we have every week to get together as God's people and worship!

- Some say "It is the only morning I have to sleep in."

 - Others, "It is the only morning we have as a family."

- Yet others say, (perhaps most truthfully) "I'm just out of the habit!"

I saw a sign today that said, “Only Nuns change habits very easily.”  That is true, but we can all change!

That’s what the Gospel is all about; “change.”  Change from sinful to righteous, from condemned to redeemed, from old to new and from aliens to children of the most high.

Lent is just about here.  Instead of giving something up this year. . .  vow to change something.  Start coming to church, come more regularly, increase your giving, treat others with Godly respect, volunteer, serve.  You name it.  If it would be a change toward God, it is a change worth making.

Give it a try.
