ne Parson’s Opinion


Have you noticed this article comes around about every month? I get tired of writing the articles, and I know you get tired of reading them. But this is one of the things you pay me to do, so here goes!

My article, which I write and you read (because you are afraid you will get the fever if you don’t, and you hope you will prosper if you do) is a parable of life. There is a lot of monotony in life, punctuated by moments of sheer terror (just like my articles!). Also, my articles tend to fall in a rut.

I want us to break out of that rut. We are trophies of God’s grace. We have been redeemed by Jesus. We are forgiven of all sin. We have the Lord living inside of us by the Person of the Holy Spirit. We have everything we need for life and godliness. God is working all things together for His glory and our good in our lives. Doesn’t this make you want to get up and dance?

Now, I want us to forget that we are Baptists and dance! Yes, dance! (Just don’t tell Nashville!) I want us to rejoice in the grace that has been given to us in Christ.

Honestly, I really wanted to write about how you’d get leprosy if you do not tithe, but God told me to tell you to dance!
