Month: September 2008

1.  TODAY was our first Sunday morning with our new three-service schedule. I had previously forecasted approximately 35% of our total church attendance to be there bright and early for the 8:30 AM service, and 45% to be fashionably late for the 11:00 AM service. I figured that the middle 9:45 AM service would be the one that would be lightly attended. As it turns out all three services were solid as a rock and rather evenly distributed in attendance. Flagship Cinemas dreams of the number of people that we had in their building this morning during the regular work and school week.

2.  Pastor Travis kicked-off a fresh new message series this morning, and this time we went ‘old school’ with the Old Testament. It’s a three-week study of a cat named Habakkuk. You never heard of him ?  Me either until just recently. He’s an obscure minor prophet – one of the least known of a dozen of them. The Bible shares conversations that he had with God. He’s asking Him all of the tough questions, and he wants answers from The Lord Almighty. He says that God doesn’t seem to care. He says that God isn’t doing much. He says that what God is doing just doesn’t seem fair.

3.  God sees the whole picture. He is the only one who does. That is why He does things His way for His reasons in His own time. It is fine to question God at any time. In fact it is beneficial to do so. That is what a deeply-committed believer in Him does. It’s one who expresses questions for God and faith in Him simultaneously.

See what my friend Ritz had to say about this glorious Sunday morning at the LPC !
