“I almost thank our God on every remembrance of you.” (Phil. 1: 3)?How could I miss quote my life verse? As resurrection Sunday approaches I am sending you this message to be an encouragement to us all and allow God's Holy Spirit to lead us all up to the altar of sacrifice so we may be reconciled with our Creator and Savior and our fellow brothers and sisters.
Since the beginning of the year I haven't been able to fellowship with you as much as I would have liked. I greatly miss our time together. I miss talking with you directly but I heard through the grape vine that some of you have had something against your brothers on the leadership team; either not liking the way things were done or the way things were explained and have come to seek out another fellowship.
As your brother in Christ and the father of four children it is extremely difficult for me to explain to my children why you've left. I've been asked "Don't they believe in Jesus anymore?” or “Don't they like our church?”. Jesus said, “But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment…Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.” (Matt. 5: 22-24) and “In the same way, let your life shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven”. (Matt. 5:16)
This is the week of Good Friday. Satan is having a party over things that should never divide us. The believers are treating people they work with better then there brothers and sisters in Christ. I'm praying for you on a continual basis. This Friday and Sunday we come together to worship God our Savior. By our actions we tell who we serve. You have to serve somebody, who will it be?
With Christian love,

“I thank our God on every remembrance of you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Phil. 1: 3-6
