Dear Members of the Lynnhaven Family:     
     
      

The famous and oft-quoted British author G.K. Chesterton was once criticized by one of his peers who said that after Chesterton converted to Roman Catholicism he could not write a book or an article which did not somewhere or other show that he was a Roman Catholic.  Chesterton's response was, "Indeed, I hope that's true!"

 

He was familiar with St. Paul's statement that "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ" (Romans 1:16).  We would really have a better understanding of the Apostle's message to the Romans if we translated it: "I am proud of the Gospel of Jesus Christ."

 

Are you proud of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?  Are you proud to be a member of Lynnhaven Presbyterian Church?  Does your daily life give any evidence of the fact that the Christian faith is important to you?  Is there any indication from the way that you spend your money that the Church and the Christian faith are important to you?  The famous hymn writer Isaac Watts wrote a hymn which raises a crucial quesion for everyone who claims to be a follower of Christ:

Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause
Or blush to speak His name?

 

We would do well to keep the old familiar question in the forefront of our minds in these days when the world hungers for the benefits and blessings which the Gospel offers:  "If I were put on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict me?"  See you in church.

                                                                              

                                                                                    Your Pastor and friend,

                                                                                                  Scottie Griffin
