THESE THOUGHT ARE ADDED TO EACH SUNDAY, TUESDAY AND THURSDAY
(Scroll down to read previous thoughts)
(Use in your personal or church newsletters)
Most churches have signs that say WELCOME in capital letters and often the same message is in the bulletin in bold print.
And then after the worship service, church members and regular visitors get busy greeting old friends or taking care of other business or fortified with shyness, give welcome in lower-case-actions, or not at all.
To be perfectly honest, I don’t know how many of you speak to visitors regularly, but I know how many of you should.
Some people are so lonely and alone, so insecure, that when you ignore them, passing them by to speak with friends, it hurts them so. It really does.
There is great healing in hospitality so welcome strangers and old friends and members on Sunday mornings so all can experience the wonderful, exhilarating, warming healing of Christian love.
Someone told me one time, that a man was thinking of leaving the church because I preached on love too often. “He’s driving me crazy,” I was told he said. And when I heard it, I completely understood where he was coming from because the kind of love Jesus preached really is divine madness.
It really is.
So let’s just admit it, and then go out and, on a regular basis, be a little mad.
And, yes, if this site or the One A Day site has met any of your needs share it with a friend. Just have them go to “Google Search” and type in “Wyrick’s Writings” Or type in the URL http://wyrickswritings.blogspot.com/
And, yes, maybe they will back track a few weeks to read other of my musings.
