MESSAGE
FROM THE PASTOR
January

Pastor
Jeff Stanfill
“What
have I done today to glorify God
by advancing His Kingdom?”
This
question formed in my mind recently. I think you will
agree that it is a really good question. This question
gives me some way to measure a day in the life of
Jeff Stanfill.
But
I’m scared of the answer this question may bring.
What if the answer is, “Nothing much?” I
truly don’t want that to be the answer!
So,
I have turned the question around, “What will
I do today to glorify God by advancing His Kingdom?”
This question isn’t as scary. This one gets me
up and going. It still helps me measure a day in my
life but it is proactive. Instead of moaning over
what little I have done or what greatness I failed
to be, it moves me to what I can do and be.
I’m
not one for New Year’s resolutions, but maybe
this is deserving of an exception. So, I’m starting
to begin and end my days by asking what will I do
and what have I done today to glorify God by advancing
His Kingdom in myself, Mary Ann, my sons, Covenant
Community Church, my community, and in the world.
“Teach
us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart
of wisdom.”
(Ps. 90:12 NIV)
