I found this poem in one of Fred Craddock's books and I plan to use it in the sermon. It raised an important question and I'm wondering what you think about it.
"If your outlook on things has changed this is not the main thing.
If you feel like laughing at old dreams this is not the main thing.
If you recall errors of which you are now ashamed this is not the main thing.
Even if you know what you're doing now you'll regret some other time this is not the main thing.
But beware, lightheartedly, to conclude from this that there is no such thing as the main thing. This is the main thing."
What do you think the main thing is?
Is it God?
Truth?
Jesus?
Good News?
Hope?
Joy?
What do you think the main thing is?
If you have a thought on this write me at charlesschuster@fcfumc.net. If you are willing to have others read your thoughts click on the 'comments' box below.
I look forward to hearing from you.
