Pastor's Perspective

I Corinthians 12:31, “…and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.”

As the new year approached, I was very excited about our new theme for 2009 and what it could mean for the spiritual and physical life of our church.  As a pastor, I am always looking for “ways” to have influence with people and to reach out to those who don’t know Christ as their Savior.  With that thought upon my heart, the Lord directed me with the theme… “More Excellent”.

Excellence will be our prevailing attitude this year as we strive to do ordinary things extraordinarily

 

well.  Zig Ziglar states, “Outstanding people have one thing in common: an absolute sense of mission.”  It is with this in mind that I have laid out our mission, not only for 2009, but for the years to come as well.  Excellence in ministry will not only be a goal in the things we produce, or with the facilities, but this “excellent” way that is spoke of in I Corinthians will be the philosophy with which we reach out to Puyallup and the surrounding communities with the Gospel.

The Apostle Paul, when correcting the Corinthian church in respect to their misuse of the sign gifts, explained that he would show them a more excellent way.  According to chapter 13, this way must include “charity” or “love”.  The first three verses of this chapter state that without charity our speaking will have no voice (empty or just noise), our service will be in vain, and our sacrifices will be of no value.  I’m afraid that as Baptists, we have forgotten that God not only has given us the truth of His Word, but He also gives us some pretty specific instructions on how we are to communicate it to our lost friends and loved ones.  With charity (love and benevolence), we will preach the Gospel, win the lost, and reach out into the community that God has placed this local church in.

I hope that you join us in this endeavor to serve the Lord in a More Excellent Way.  Happy New Year and see you at church!
