Saludos desde Centroamérica por Scott Hoefker (11-25-11)

Submitted by tshoefker on November 25, 2011 - 12:33pm

 

Warm hellos friends and brethren from my wife and I here in Guatemala.

 

We´ve had a somewhat busy schedule here these last few days visiting brethren, but all is well.

 

Most of you have just finished enjoying a very blessed day yesterday with family, food, and most importantly giving of thanks for an abundance by which we are able to enjoy life by the grace of God.

 

I wanted to convey our warmest hellos to you all as we come again to God's Sabbath, created for man, so we might all stop and reflect even more on the blessing of knowing Him and the relationship that affords.

A pleasant hello to all of you.

 

My wife and I have just returned from almost 3 weeks traveling in Colombia, South America.

We had a very busy, yet productive and unifying time with your brethren in this little part of the world.

 

I am especially appreciative this Friday evening for God's Sabbath, being in my own bed, and knowing my wife and I will see many of you tomorrow.

 

So, a big Sabbath hello to you all, may God shine upon you this day.

He Watches Over Us All (09-23-11)

A pleasant evening to you all friends and brethren.
I’ve been working all day on an article to finish, that I’ll submit before we leave for South America…and the topic is near and dear to my heart…a concept, like us all I grasp at, hoping to someday to become perfected at such.
"Relaxing". Simple enough, yet profoundly important to remain fulfilled, happy, and content with who and where we are in life.
Psalm 127: 1-2 says, “Unless the Lord builds the House, those who build it, labor in vain.  Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is vain if you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread that is anxiously toiled, for He gives to his beloved sleep”.

What You Do...You Are. (09-16-11)

Pleasant evening to you all my friends. 

As we begin this weekly Sabbath, ponder with me Galatians:6:7 "...whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap". 

Earlier today as I prepared sermons for my trip here in less than a month, I mused also on some thoughts by Madame Chiang Kai-Shek. 

If the past teaches us anything it is that every cause brings effect, every action a consequence.

This moral foundation of the universe would apply equally to our world and the next. 

The Chinese have a saying, "If a man plants melons, he will reap melons; if he sows beans, he will reap beans." This is true of all of our lives. God tells us that good begats good, and evil leads to evil. 

True enough, the sun indeed shines on those God calls, and those not yet called, and does it not seem that all too often the wicked prosper? 

Our Heart in the Work (09-09-11)

Pleasant Sabbath to you Brethren! 

You and I have just almost finished another busy week—rather like the last one, there always seems to be more things to accomplish than time to do so...  

Decades ago as a young person I heard a profound and insightful statement, “You are converted to the extent that your heart is in the work.” Put another way, “If you want to grow spiritually, do God's work with all your being.” 

A fellow pastor and friend, Mitchell Knapp, who also heard this statement, penned some thoughts that I wanted to share in part with mine with you all this evening...
