Our home is sold, escrow closed and out of the house by 10:30 am. Now we are homeless as we now visit our brothers and sisters in Christ at Redeemer. We have been received into membership at Redeemer and they are now our home congregation. What a blessing to have their prayers, encouragement and support. Now we will stay with Grandpa for a five days until we head south to visit Good Shepherd in Inglewood and family too. We will miss Oroville, the congregation I served for 9 years, friends and fellow brothers in circuit 12.
But now we are homeless and it seems like we are wandering. Yet when we really think of it as Christians this is not our home, life is but a breath and time is short so we are sent and so we go and tell others the Good News about Christ and what He has done for us--for you and for me. As the old hymn goes, "heaven is our home" pointing us outside of this sin filled world to Christ, His victory and the promise of the New Heavens and New Earth. We are merely on a journey in the Ark of the Church awaiting That Day, living our our vocation and pointing others to Christ.
