Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church
I pray you are assured of divine companionship as you journey on in faith.
Influences on the human spirit are numerous. Because mystery conceals
from us most of the certainty we search for, we must appeal to natural
sensitivities to establish guidelines for ordering our lives. The need
for safety, nourishment, and protection prompts us to establish patterns
of living that not only serve ourselves but also enable us to support
those we love in our families and communities. The origin of emotions
that stir within us when trying to determine how to make these kinds of
choices may be just as elusive as is the certainty that we are making
the best choice possible—one that will be most beneficial in both the
present and the future. We are not alone in this dilemma. Everyone who
has lived before us has faced this same challenge. Perhaps we can learn
something from their experiences that will help us have confidence in
following the teachings of Jesus when constructing parameters for making
choices in life. These thoughts will compose the sermon for next Sunday,
'Sorting through inner promptings.'
May it go well with you. Sincerely,
Garland Robertson
