JOIN  US FOR WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

THERE IS A CURE FOR DEPRESSION

FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

JUNE 27, 2010

 

"CURING DEPRESSION”

“Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why are you crying the blues? Fix my eyes on God-- soon I'll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He's my God.”

"MELTED DOWN AND IN CIRCULATION"

"St Peter's Denial"

When Oliver Cromwell found  there was no precious metal except statues of the Saints to coin in England, the radical soldier and statesman of England replied: "Good! We'll melt down the saints and put them in circulation!"

That brief but direct order states the essence of the practical goal of authentic Christianity. Not rows of silver saints crammed into the corners of cathedrals, but melted saints circulating through the mainstream of humanity. Where life transpires in the raw.

Oh that we as Christians might be melted down and "put into circulation."
