Everything is Connected


I have been thinking about keeping this blog current with interesting topics that will build up the members of Zion Lutheran Church. Recently, I have been reading several books beside the Bible of course. One of the books talked about how everything is connected. John Muir, the naturalist once said, "When we try to pick anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe." The same is true when it comes to our relationship with Jesus. My faith impacts the people around me. My sin has a way of hurting others who I never realized I was hurting. The good things I do also touch people beyond those I may know. Consider the child who learns to love because he or she sees parents loving others. If they grow to love they are effecting many others. Our faith and obedience to Christ does touch others. This is why it is so vital and important that we learn what and how Christ what His children to be. We are blessed to be a blessing.
Blessings & Peace,
Pastor John
