Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church
We have experienced again the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent,
Easter, and Pentecost. I trust these festivals and celebrations have
encouraged you in your journey of faith. We are grateful to everyone who
provided enriching details and appointments during these special days of
commemoration and significance.
What does it mean for us to live faithfully, to honor our perceptions of
what God has intended human life to be like? Initially we might be
caused to wonder about the origin of these ‘perceptions’ regarding
appropriate human behavior. The variations of human perceptions about
the Creator’s intention for human life bewilder us. We speculate about
patterns that might have composed these conceptions. We consider the
experiences and engagements individuals have had that might have worked
to produce this collection of ‘wisdom’ that resides within them. Is each
one legitimate? If not how do we distinguish between them? So many
questions arise whenever we think about living faithfully. Ancient
biblical stories survive because they suggest a way for us to believe
that living faithfully is possible, in spite of our uncertainties. These
thoughts will compose the sermon for this next Sunday, 'Being faithful.'
May it go well with you. Sincerely,
Garland Robertson
