U Matters - 13 Jul 2017

by Greg Anderson on July 13, 2017

Today I bought some marked down groceries. When I looked the cash register to make sure the price was reduced, I saw “End of Life Discount.” It was scary. What does M and S’s computer know that I don’t know. Not so sure I want an end of life discount. In fact I would pay more for an “extra life premium.”

James 4: 13 reminds us that “you do not even know what tomorrow will bring.” As we look at an uncertain future — job, church, home, health, etc.—we do know who holds the future. James suggests in 4:15, “You ought to say, ‘if the Lord wishes, we will do this or that.’”

The staff team and your leaders are working hard to prepare for Union’s future. We ask for your prayers that we would do as “the Lord wishes.” What an exciting time he has for us!
