what have you got?

I have to say it is really good to be back online. It is stange how one becomes so dependant on technology to communicate with people. It might be said that it is sad but there we go.

It is still a couple of weeks till the induction and the start of a new job, so Rachel and I have been taking the opportunity to go and visit a few places and family. I'm really looking forward to starting at the church and to get in on what God is already doing in the life of the church and community surrounding it. This is going to be a bit of andventure i feel...

Was reading in Luke this morning and came across the parable of the Minas (money), you know the one where the Master gives his 10 servants 1 each for them to do something with while he goes on a journey. Now two of the servants do something with that which they had been given and earning 10 more and 5 more respectively. Then we get to the one who did notthing with it and left it in his pocket or something. He didn't even put it in the bank to earn interest. Now I know there is much, much more that could be said about this parable, but the question I have for you this morning is what is it you are doing with what God has given you? If you notice from the narrative (Luke 19:11-26) each servant was given something! As his servants he has given us stuff that we can do something with (for the benefit of the kingdom of God not us directly). What have you got? and what are you doing with it?

Till the next time, God bless
