Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

 Sunday, August 23

“Should I send my child back to in person school?”  This is one of many questions people are asking these days.  It is a season of decisions, decisions and decisions.

To explore how we can make decisions, Pastor Rob reflects on Paul’s words:

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may discern the will of God, what is good, pleasing and perfect.”  (Romans 12:2)

In a nutshell, Paul offers some very practical spiritual counsel.

• The moral map the world gives us is distorted
• Worry about more about the heart than the decision
• There is only one to whom we are accountable

Underneath it all is the good news about decisions:  The most important decision, namely, God’s decision to unfailingly love you, has already been made!

What then shall we say?

St Paul asks, “What then shall we say to these things?”  (Romans 8)  Pastor Rob delivers a sermon, honestly, more of a poem, on “What can we say to these things, namely, the unrelenting situation with COVID.”  It is a tour of Scripture, a blurred re-telling of sacred story.  For others have faced challenges and God’s faithfulness is revealed continually.  As we ponder this, we hope and pray that we can confess with St. Paul:  Nothing can separate us from God’s love in Jesus Christ.
