I get letters. All pastors do.
I got one recently that started like this…
“Can I bend your ear about some things that have been happening at RBC lately…”
How does that strike you?
If you are a pessimist – you think the letter will be an ear bending list of grievances and complaints.
You might be justified in thinking that way. Because, like all pastors, I get my share of those letters.
But not this one.
This letter was a series of joyful paragraphs each one beginning with: “I wanted to tell you about…” Each paragraph then expounded a person or family who has been a blessing to the writer. Each one a person who has been an undeniable evidence of gospel grace and powerful example of Spirit filled service.
Could you write such a letter about your church?
Maybe you should.
