This past weekend was such a great blessing. Dr. James A. Forbes, Jr. preached, prayed, sand, taught, comforted, challenged and inspired us. (If you missed it, I encourage you to contact the church office for a cd of the Saturday evening lecture and Sunday morning sermon.)
So many prophetic words, but one sentence captured me. He told the story of a friend and mentor who when traveling in Africa saw on the back of a truck the words, "No time for foolishness!" What a powerful and provocative statement.
No time for foolishness! These words call us to action. These words call for urgency. These words demonstrate the gravity of the situation. These words say, "Get up and get to work!" In this time in our nation and the world, this is no time for foolishness.
In this time in the life of Trinity Church, this is no time for foolishness! As long as people are hurting and hungry, there is no time for foolishness. As long as people are lonely and lost, there is no time for foolishness! As long as people hate and kill, there is no time for foolishness!
People of Trinity Church, you are going to hear these words again...I can assure you!! The time for action is now! The time for prayer in now! The time for service is now! The time for love and faithfulness is now! The time for Christ is now! This is no time for foolishness!
Peace,
Paul+
