Hello,

I’m going to miss our church convention for many reasons chiefly financial. But there is plenty to do back home. A friend just had her mother admitted to the hospital.  As a result it looks like I’m going to be driving her for awhile. I spend a lot of time driving people who can’t. It seems to be one of my ministries. Also I see that readership is increasing. Welcome to all new folks and feedback is always appreciated.

This week we are going to talk about consequences for sin. We serve a God who will discipline us. Sinning results in bad things happening to us. It’s not Karma but God can and does discipline us for our own good and to help us mature. Revelation 3:19 says it well “As many as I love I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefor and repent”

Thanks for the comments and questions. I always enjoy them because it means people are reading.
