Pastor's Corner

Keep Growing…

In 1988 a book came out entitled All I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.  It was written by a minister by the name of Robert Fulghum.  What is it about?  Fulghum listed lessons normally learned in American kindergarten classrooms.  He explained how the world would be improved if adults adhered to the same basic rules as children like sharing, being kind to one another, cleaning up, and living "a balanced life" of work, play, and learning.

Needless to say, the title is a bit tongue in cheek.  Imagine going to a doctor who believed that all he needed to know he learned in Kindergarten.  We wouldn’t want a doctor who believed that all he needed to know he learned in medical school.  A doctor is required to do more training and study.  There are medical journals that must be read; there are seminars to attend.

Peter finished his second letter by giving us some good advice, “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  To him be glory both now and forever!” (II Peter 3:18)  While Jesus said that our faith needs to be like a child, what he meant was that we need to accept like a child does.  Yet Jesus wants us to accept things in his Word that are deep and profound.  They need to be searched out, understood and applied with faith.  There is always more to understand and apply and live.  On August 15th I am beginning a study of the Book of Hebrews.  It is a profound and a transitional book that ties the Old Testament and the New Testament.  Please come on Sundays at 9 AM.  Ask me also about God 101 classes that deal with the basics of the Bible and our God.  We also have Wednesday Night classes at 7:30 in our Midweek Oasis.  Don’t think that all you needed to learn about the Lord you learned in Kindergarten.  There is so much more for your soul’s sake!

In Christ,

Pastor Larry Zahn
