Dear Fellow Workers in Christ’s Kingdom:
How is your energy level? We hope each of you has had time in the summer to relax and to recharge your batteries as we enter into another busy season when church and school activities mark the calendars. Checking our schedules, may we be reminded what it’s all about: serving our gracious Lord and ministering to the precious souls he has placed around us. Since in Christ we have victory – as the Apostle Paul calls it in his first letter to the believers at Corinth – there is reason to move forward with banner raised! No matter the assignments, challenges and joys set before us, we go ahead with this prevailing encouragement: “Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain” (1 Cor. 15:58).
Blessings in our dear Redeemer,
