Be A People Who Changes The World

Pam Weinreis • Jun 24, 2019

If you could, how would you change the world?

Have everyone get along?

Work together?

If you could, how would you change your community?

Less crime?

Fewer children wandering the streets?

Where does the change begin?

How would you change yourself?

Change: to make or become different

Matthew 5:13-16 Let me tell you why you are here? You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste Godliness? You’ve lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.


Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be the light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. (The Message)

You Are The Salt Of The Earth

We, as believers and followers of Jesus Christ, are to be the salt and light of this world. The first change needs to begin in us.

God Is Not A Secret To Be Kept

Since God is not a secret to be kept let us cultivate a lifestyle of evangelism. Telling others in your community what Christ has done for you.


James 2:14-17 Dear friends, do you think you’ll get anywhere in this if you learn all the right words but never do anything? Does merely talking about faith indicate that a person really has it? For instance, you come upon an old friend dressed in rags and half-starved and say,” Good morning, friend! Be clothed in Christ! Be filled with the Holy Spirit!” and walk off without providing so much as a coat or a cup of soup— where does that get you? Isn’t it obvious that God-talk without God-acts is outrageous nonsense? (The Message)


Be doers my friend and this may just be the change this world needs.


Until next time, Pam

Familiar

By Pam Weinreis • 14 Apr, 2024
What is familiar to you? Your children's voice, your spouse, your daily routine, the road you travel? We have many things very familiar to us. Webster defines familiar: common, well known, close association. The word origin from the Latin is, "the family footing."

Loneliness

By Pam Weinreis • 27 Feb, 2024
Nearly one out of three older Americans are lonely, according to a recent study. The study revealed that the biggest shift in loneliness rose among the younger generations. Loneliness is distress caused by a lack of satisfactory relationships, not just being alone.

Life That Is Truly Life

By Pam Weinreis • 10 Feb, 2024
Life That is Truly Life Is our society consumer based? Did you know that only a century ago 90 percent of Americans were farmers? Life was hard, but simpler too. They mostly lived off the land and traded with neighbors whatever else they needed. Money was rarely used. And most of the things they owned fell into the category of needs, not wants. Today only 2 percent of Americans work agriculture. The last century has radically reshaped the American economy. People moved to cities for jobs, where goods were produced. After the wars, politicians and businessmen worked hard to remake the American economy. It was said their goal was to get the simple farmers children to spend their time and money buying up the latest thing. To grow a generation of consumers.

Un-Hurry Your Life

By Pam Weinreis • 27 Jan, 2024
Have you ever considered "boredom" as good for you? Is boredom good for your kids? Do you remember a time when instant access to the internet, YouTube, tic-toc, and/or snapchat wasn't an immediate go to? How about this, waiting at the railroad tracks, waiting in traffic, sitting in a movie theater before the show with nothing for your mind to do but wander, listen, visit or just be quiet?

Thanksgiving

By Pam Weinreis • 24 Nov, 2023
It is the month set aside for thanks. I am struggling, and I still get turned around. Is my dwelling on the past or fretting over the future keeping me from the present? Is my anxiousness masked by anger? Do I discount this moment?

Distracted From Distractions

Are we a people, "distracted from distractions?"

New Birth

By Pam Weinreis • 27 May, 2023
The warmth of the sunshine does something for our souls. It seems to lift the spirit. Signs of spring are slowly showing up. The Little Missouri River’s running out of its banks. Baby calves scatter the hillsides. Green grass begs to grow. Just days before the Holy Week, our eighth grandchild is born.
