Stay Alert!
I am writing out of deep sadness this morning. Someone came into the church this past Sunday and disrespected the House of God and the people gathered for worship by taking a wallet out of a young ladies purse. I am convinced that God has called us to reach out to the hurting community around us but it really hurts when we find that immediately after church was over a credit card from that wallet was used in a community that we have focused our outreach efforts in. I want our church family to realize that we must increase our vigilance within the church and that we must become our brothers keeper! I am determined that we will continue our outreach efforts yet I pray that we will be more vigilant and that we will protect one another. Also, as the South Holland police investigate this matter I want the church family to know that if the person is identified before he or she comes to me then I will not allow that person back in our fellowship until there is a public repentance. We must bring in Godly discipline in dealing with matters like this. Please pray with me that God will convict this person so they will come and humility and begin the restoration process.
