What is Really Important

It never fails to amaze  me what people really think about and what they  really find out what is important in their lives. At this time in history and with all the crises the world is facing like health issues, loss of jobs, loss of their temporary wealth, loss of property and most of all loss of the most important thing their faith. I attend a small church of sixty five families our church is in need of repair or replacement. It was first  built in 1800 then replaced in 1870 and finally in 1960 it was rebuilt again. The cost of rebuilding this structure is 1,000,000 and some would say sixty five families in this economy will never raise that kind of money. And the answer is they are right if they are relying on money, it will never be built but if they turn that around where it should be they will realize that money will never build that church only faith will. Our society has loss something very important the word FAITH. It chooses to ignore it or simply leave it out of all conversation as something old fashion and out of date.  In the Bible,  one of the most important books is the book of Job if you read this it might help you to reaffirm your understanding of the word faith.. In the story of Job after he had lost everything his wealth, his health and all his children were dead, his wife turned to him in angry and  told him  he should " curse God and die" for what had happened but Job replied " Shall we indeed accept  only good from God; and ... not  accept adversity?'  THINK ABOUT IT !
