Share '08

What a great day I’ve had here at WJLY Christian Radio in Ramsey, IL. We’ve been raising their operating budget for next year at Share ‘08. I was able to re-connect with some good friends, some of which I have not seen for several years. I’ve also made several new friends today. It is always a joy and a blessing to meet other believers and to hear their stories, their heartaches, their struggles, and their joys. I find comfort in knowing others have some of the same struggles and joys that I have. It seems to solidify the body of Christ…seeing other like-minded, Spirit filled believers and how God is working in and thru their lives. As a pastor, I sometimes fall into the trap of thinking that God only works, or at least prefers to work within the church. Not true! While God does work in the church (at least sometimes), being at WJLY has reminded me that God also works thru many, many people in many different ways. It is refreshing to see that God is busy at work outside the parameters of man-made denominations. Jesus calls us to be his witnesses…to the ends of the earth. I am pleased to report to you that many are doing just that!
