Back in my day, I was a decent shooter in basketball. I still like to get out in the driveway and shoot around a bit with my boys, but my days of competitive ball are probably over.
Eventually, I took up coaching and have coached both basketball and soccer. I had one kid, with some special needs, who just threw it up if he got the ball. He was never even close and the other boys on my team didn't want to pass it to him as a result. Most of his shots would have been lucky to hit the broad side of a barn. I swear sometimes he had his eyes closed. He was just hoping it would go in with no plan, no aim. Our spiritual life can be like that too. We might love Jesus, but what next? After we pray the prayer of salvation, what do we do till we go to heaven? Some would say to pray, go to church, read your Bible...all of which are good; but that's not really a plan. If you feel like you are wandering in your faith or in need of direction, there are tons of wonderful tools and resources that we could point you to to help you. There are Bible reading plans, prayer journals, spiritual gift inventories and so many more tools that are waiting to be taken advantage of. We offer classes and studies with mature teachers who can offer guidance. And I would be happy to meet, as your pastor, to provide counseling or guidance so that your life has aim and a plan as you seek to follow Jesus faithfully. We are in this together, seeking to follow Jesus together...and we would love to help you as you follow that "narrow road" to life. In Christ, Pastor Scott
