Volume 2 Issue 23

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment’s gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
[Now] Don’t hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won’t another minute buy.
Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind
--Kansas

In today’s sermon I make brief mention of the above song, “Dust in the Wind” performed by Kansas on their album, “Point of Know Return.” I hope that I’ve successfully refuted their fatalistic point of view (even though I have always really liked the song). I am honored that you have invited me into your life via this cyber-ministry, and I pray that you will find your time at this site both sanctifying and rewarding. It is increasingly apparent to me that those of us who desire to see God’s kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven will have to become actively engaged in that process. Our failure to become involved only empowers the negative and evil forces.

There are a number of new postings on the Bulletin Board that I think you’ll find interesting, including links to some other sites that have put together powerfully beautiful messages. I continue to hope that one day we’ll begin to “hear” from those of you who visit GiC regularly, because on that day I’ll know that the message has been successfully communicated that what you have to say about theology is just as important as what is put forth by the “experts.”

Please remember to share this ministry with others. Word of mouth is the only marketing strategy we have, but your suggestion to someone else that s/he might find something of worth here is invaluable. And don’t forget to “join our mailing list” in order to receive this weekly newsletter.

Until next week…….Shalom!
