Faith Steps Forward
Genesis 12:1-9; Philippians 3:1-11
Labor Day is a bittersweet holiday, one last hurrah -- or gasp -- for summer. The calendar may say we have three weeks left before autumn begins, but we know... We know that it's already all over.
Even so, I hope that as you scan back through your own summer you can give thanks for some special new memories you created there. For the rest of your life, you know, they'll always be just a heartbeat away. Ever ready to call up, to retreat into, as little sanctuaries of love, joy, and peace for your soul.
But now, at the front edge of autumn, we take stock of the fact that Faith always steps forward into God's promise of good new beginnings. That's the message I take home from St. Paul's encouraging words to his friends in the Philippian church, and from Father Abraham's example in the Book of Genesis.
Listen to the GODcast!
