Pastor’s Blog II.II

I went to church on Sunday and they do things different down here in Louisiana.  We just picked a church randomly and walked in.  There were 11 of us on a MDS (Mennonite Disaster Relief) project looking for a church to worship in.  Once we entered we knew we were in the minority.  Now there were 11 white visitors in an all black church service.  We took the back few rows but there would be no hiding on this particular Sunday.  When I am not at the church I pastor I love just being one of the crowd.  Today that would not happen.

In their enthusiasm for visitors they greeted us warmly and one of my crew decided to surrender the information that I was the Lead Pastor of Cornerstone Church.  An abundantly warm African American woman came over (from this point on when I refer to a conversation think strong southern accent) and said to me, “I hear you are Pastor Wilson!”  I wanted to lie but I agreed she was correct with the information she had received.  She proceeded to grab me and say, “Come on you must meet our pastor.”  I had already noticed that their pastor had a Dr. before his name.  She marched me into the back part of the church at which point in time I shared with her that I didn’t want to make a fuss.  “It’s no fuss at all, you must meet our pastor.”  We get to his office door, it is closed so she knocks and opens it.  She closed it quickly and said, “He’s with someone.”  I told her I would return to my seat and meet him later as I didn’t want to make a fuss.  Her reply was, “I told you it ain’t no fuss and if you say fuss again I will make a fuss and you don’t want to see that.”  I wanted to be in Saskatoon

She had a way about her that made me stay put.  We passed the time with her introducing me to the choir, the deacons and anyone else who happened to pass by.  Finally the door opened, a generous African American woman exited and we entered.  I need to give you a bit more information.  I am dressed in blue jeans, sandals, and an open collared short sleeve shirt.  Everyone else I have seen have been adorned in three piece suits, dresses and hats…lots of hats.  The pastor is wearing an expensive looking three piece suit and he asks me this question: “You are a pastor?”  He asked it like he wasn’t sure he had heard right.  I assured him he was right so he asked me to write down all my information.  As I was doing this I told him we were down here to help rebuild homes destroyed by the hurricanes.  He smiled and said, “You aren’t dressed for church, you are dressed for work.  I like that!”  (remember the accent)

He then asked if I wanted to address the congregation to which I replied, “Oh no I don’t want to make a fuss (Out of the corner of my eye I saw my new friend give me a look when I said the word “Fuss” once again and it sent a shiver up my spine)I am just here to worship God with you.”  He reviewed my information and I was dismissed from the Principal’s office wait, no I mean the Pastor’s office.  My new friend guided me back out into the congregation at which point I saw my crew grinning from ear to ear.  I didn’t like any of them at that moment.  Before I go any further I need to let you know the service was two and a half hours long.

At about the three quarters point there was an altar call.  A woman with a baby went forward and we waited for a while but she was the only candidate that morning.  The pastor asked her what she needed.  She said her baby was sick and she wanted prayer.  He interviewed her for us.  Her baby was sick but no matter how many doctors she had seen no one could help her.  The pastor talked for a while about the power of God to heal and there were a lot of amens at that point.  He decided to ask others to come forward to pray with as well as for this lady.  (At this point you may have an inclination of where this is going.)  After a bit the pastor asked more people to come forward.  After that the pastor asked the white folk to come as well.  Now the whole church is at the front with the white crowd at the back of the black crowd.  I am at the back of the white group so I am as far away from the action as I can be.  There is some singing, praying, lots of amens with a smattering of hallelujahs. 

The pastor takes this moment to announce that a pastor from Canada is here.  He then asks me to come forward as I was going to pray for the healing of the baby.  The Red Sea parts as the white folk and the black folk make way for the blue jean, sandal wearing pastor from Canada to come to the front.  I want to be in Saskatoon.  I will not go into the details of my prayer but I did generate a significant number of amens and hallelujahs.  The prayer ended with everyone going back to their pews.

The offering is next.  The pastor preached for fifty-five minutes before all this other action took place.  For the offering everyone goes forward.  I made sure I was putting cash in the box however the guy guarding the box seemed to watch me quite carefully as I dropped my cash into the offering box.  I went the wrong way at that point so one of the deacons corrected me.  I was glad to sit down.  Announcements were being made but the pastor was looking at me with a “come hither” look which I ignored three times.  He then called me by name to come forward.  I wanted to be in Saskatoon.  He introduced me royally to the assembled group to a smattering of applause and amens.  He then said I was going to share with the congregation.  I assumed my words to him in the office before the service had been misunderstood due to my accent because I was sure I told him I didn’t want to address the congregation.

I shared our mission to rebuild houses based on Matthew 25 when Jesus said that whatever you do unto the least of these you did unto me.  I shared that we were also helping out in Haiti which inspired another chorus of amens.  I kept my comments to a mininum but the pastor (A very large African American man who had been sweating profusely during his preaching) decided we should hug.  On a good day I may hug someone who is not a blood relative of mine but I am not a hugger by nature.  I was embraced by the pastor who was now quite wet.  I would have been happy with a hearty handshake.

The service was now over and I made a beeline for my rental car.  It was all to no avail.  The rest of the group save one other guy in the car with me were visiting with the church people for about another thirty minutes.  During this time I had several women come over to my driver’s side window to shake my hand and bless me.  Just as I thought it was done another woman came and handed me her phone number.  I have been married for over thirty years so I am not used to women handing me their phone numbers in parking lots.  She told me she wanted to bless us with making sweet potato pie or other sweet things for us.  She then asked for my phone number which I reluctantly gave to her.  She said just to call her when I wanted the pie or she would call me.  I suspect my phone will ring before the week is over and I will recognize the voice on the other end.

Church is a little bit different here.  I am really looking forward to getting back to Saskatoon but I will not forget the Sunday I worshipped in Louisiana.

Pastor’s Blog II.I

I think I have stumbled onto or am stumbling onto a theme for 2010.  In 1988 the sports company, Nike, established their catchy motto: “Just Do It” which they actually used for 10 years.  It was cute, memorable and it sold mechandise like nothing they had ever used before.  Just do it was the slogan of the decade.  I am looking at something similar in attitude for Cornerstone.

We started the year in Matthew 25 where we are told that the difference between the sheep and goats will be what they did or did not do for “the least of these.”  I haven’t stop thinking about that phrase since then.  Whatever you did for the least of these you did for me says Jesus.  Whatever you did not do for the least of these you did not do for me.  Doing seems pretty important to our God.  Some 2,000 plus years later I am not sure it is as important to the evangelical church.

In Acts 16 when the jailor asks Paul and Silas what must he do to be saved they reply, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.”  I mean Paul said it under the direct influence of the Holy Spirit so how can you go wrong when you repeat that little gem?  Just believe in Jesus.  I believe many people have agreed with that to a point and have stated they believe in Jesus.  However, in scripture belief also affects action.  In fact I would suggest to you that if your belief does not affect how you live (action) perhaps you don’t believe what you say you believe.  This brings us back to our passage in Matthew 25.  If I believe in Jesus then I will live as Jesus calls me to live.  Jesus asks this question in Luke 6:46, “Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not do what I say?”

I am looking for suggestions for a theme or lotto or slogan that relates to these verses.  Something akin to Nike’s “Just do it” because that speaks to what we should be doing as a church body.  We should be doing it, not just talking but doing.  Not announcing what it is we believe but living what we believe.  James 1 is a good place to visit as well.  “Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves.  Do what it says.”  I think James was a little bent out of shape about this issue.  He also penned this idea: “faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” 

This is crucial to our spiritual development.  We must be a church that does it…whatever it is that God calls us to do.  I am not even slightly interested in having booming Sunday attendances if there is no corresponding action with that attendance.  Action has to be at the root of what we are about as a church family.  It is in the action that we really live out what we believe.  I believe God is calling us to be this church of action.  I get totally stoked when I imagine the possibilities of impacting/changing our world as our church gets motivated to act.

So, bring them on.  Let me hear your suggestions for our slogan/theme/motto for the coming year.  I need your help!

Pastor’s Blog II

Eventually a number will be produced. Maybe today or tomorrow or next week but the world will receive a number. The number I am referring to of course is the number of dead in Haiti after the January 12th earthquake that has devastated that poor country. The number is the problem.

On the one hand it will be so difficult to get an exact number because of the nature of Haiti itself. The accuracy of government records is suspect. Currently there is no government agency capable of overseeing or taking charge. It will be a number that will have no sense of certainty affliated with it. On the other hand the problem is the number itself. Most of the world will gasp at the staggering nature of the number. Maybe it will be 100,000 or 500,000 or worse and we will talk about how awful it is that another natural disaster has struck our world. It’s not a number to God. It is people, precious people created in His image by a creator who loves them in ways that we cannot fully grasp.

For our small team that was there so recently it is not a number. We have looked into the faces of the people of Haiti and it has changed us. Yes it is a country wracked with poverty. Yes it is a country that has a multitude of problems. Yes the governments of the past have been self-serving and often useless in relation to caring for their own but these people are not numbers. They are people with names and families and dreams and hurts. They are people learning and growing and for many of them they are just hearing the good news of Jesus Christ a Saviour who loves them.

Please don’t allow the news to tell you a number and for you to walk away thinking that was awful. The number will be awful but it is not a number. It is precious people each of whom God loves passionately and we are called to love them as well.  Scripture reminds us often that God loves the widows and the orphans.  There will be an abundance of new widows and orphans to be loved in Haiti.  We will be a people who do that work on God’s behalf.

There are two words I have shared with our staff when it comes to this year 2010. The least and the worst. I said I want us to be a church concerned about the least and the worst. Today Haiti screams at us “we are the least and the worst.”

Make no mistake, this week Haiti is in the world media’s spotlight but that will fade. Another story will push Haiti off the stage and much of the world will forget the devastation that has occurred. Cornerstone will not be included in that picture. Let us commit now to doing whatever we can for as long as we can to make as big a difference as we can because they are not numbers. They are people and if God loves them so will we love them.

A door of opportuntiy has opened. Let us boldly walk through the door by the grace of God offering the truth and help of God to a people who are open to discovering a God who longs for relationship with them. This is our chance to really make a difference in our world.

Today allow God to break your heart with the need of people not the size of a number. Look into their faces when you see them on the news. Put yourself in their situation. Who are you looking for? What do you need? What is it you want? As you answer those questions maybe you will discover that you can be the answer to some of those questions for someone in Haiti. For a person…not a number.

I believe deep within the soul of every follower of Jesus Christ is the ultimate longing to hear these words from the lips of Jesus Himself, “Well done my good and faithful servant.”  Imagine the sound and experience within your own soul to be standing before the one who gave His life on a cross for your salvation when you hear him say to you, “Well done my good and faithful servant.”

Can there be any sweeter words to hear?  At the end of your days to know the Saviour is pleased with how you lived out your faith and so announces this blessing for you to hear.  It just about sends chills up my spine to anticipate that very moment.

In order to experience that moment in the future it is important that you live well today.  It is crucial that your life bear fruit during these days so that one day the words you want to hear will be the words you will hear.  So, today we take what we believe and we put it into action.  We help those in need, we feed the hungry, we assist the thirsty, we visit those in hospital or prison and establish relationships with the lonely.  In other words we live out our faith in accordance with Matthew 25.

Oddly, in doing that we fulfill the vision we have established at Cornerstone to be a church that changes the world.  I have had the privilege of being associated with or part of different churches and organizations that have had some pretty significant goals.  Honestly I have never been possessed by a vision the way I am possessed by this one.

Think about it for a moment.  Right now we are raising a group of children who will grow up with this as part of their spiritual DNA.  They will have as their faith background that they were part of church that wanted to change the world.  How cool is that?  They will hoepfully grow up thinking that this is the way we are to live our lives: as world changers.

We are establishing within our teens the thought process that we go on missions trips not because it is cool but because we are part of a bigger vision to change the world.  We sponsor children in developing countries (as some of our teens are already doing) because it is the right and normal spiritual thing to do.  We help out in local ministries to the poor because that is what we as followers of Christ do.

We have moms and dads who have their spiritual heads on a swivel looking for opportunities to serve others not as a once in a while thing but as a constant thing.  They model their active faith to their children who will catch that and follow the vision.  We have dads telling their sons/daughters or sons/daughters-in-law that the coolest thing they could think of doing is to go on a foreign mission trip to serve another part of our world.  We have moms continually casting the vision for their children that the greatest thing they can do is to serve Jesus Christ in whatever capacity that He calls them but we do it as world changers.  We serve and in serving we change the world.

The year 2010 is upon us.  Doors are already open and only God knows what other doors He is planning on opening.  Are you ready?  Are you looking forward to this year knowing that it is only as we serve faithfully in this year that the future may bring those incredible words of blessing…well done.

Let’s chase the vision together.

Posting from the incredible country of Haiti this afternoon.  Preached to about 300 Haitians this morning on the hope of the empty cross and empty tomb.  Jesus is alive therefore we have a sure hope.

Where to start?  Poverty exists everywhere you look but so do the natural sinful conditions of immorality and greed.  I had a little girl come and sit beside me this morning.  I had not seen her before the service in any of our previous meetings or walks.  She just showed up beside me and then fell asleep on my shoulder and the good news was that I had not even started preaching yet!  Later I asked about her.

Her mother has multiple children from mutiple men and no man currently living with her.  For those of you attending Cornerstone her mother is the woman at the well in John 4.  She comes to the church every Sunday by herself.  Gets her 8 year old little body…maybe 35 pounds…ready and walks a short distance to church.  She stays around as they always give her lunch on Sunday.  I asked her through a translator if she had eaten today and she just shook her head with the answer of “No.” 

We stayed around and visited for a while before lunch.  She took to Sue, holding her hand, climbing up on her lap just anything for little positive human interaction.  When lunch was served Sue sat beside her and helped her in whatever way she needed.  Later she would head back home to a house where there would be nobody as her mom was sick and no one seeemd to know where she went.

It is possible that tonight an eight year old little girl will tuck herself into bed, without any supper and go to sleep all by herself.  Tomorrow she will get up and go to school again all by herself.  She is one out of how many?  I honestly have no idea but the numbers are staggering.  This country needs our help.

The ministry we are visiting is called Haiti Arise.  Google them and visit their website.  What they are doing has the potential to change this country for the good.  They are educating their people.  They are providing training so they they can have a trade and earn an income.  They are teaching English, sponsoring children to go to good schools and sharing the gospel with as many people as they can.  Check out what else they are doing and dreaming of doing on their website.  God is using this ministry in powerful ways.

They need and want our help.  You can help.  I can help.  Make a commitment to get involved.  Our team is commited to bringing a work team down here in March.  Pray about that.  Ask God if this is a way you could get involved.  The country is in need.  The people are warm and friendly.  Haiti Arise is waiting for more people to catch their vision and assist them in doing what God has placed on their hearts.

It is a privilege to be here.  I have to go as another church service is about to start and I don’t want to miss it!

When was the last time you knew you had been prompted by the Holy Spirit? I asked our congregation that question at the end of our second service on Sunday November 8th. I am sure there were people sitting there who could have shared both positive and negative aspects to being prompted. Many of us have experienced those times when we knew it was God speaking to us and we ignored that still small voice within us. That is what I mean by a negative experience.However, I have had a number of people share with me great stories about situations where they had no master plan but God worked in special ways and at the end of the day they knew God had ochestrated their experiences. Those are the positive experiences.

Sadly there is another category. In this category sit a great number of church attenders who would admit that they cannot remember experiencing either one of the previous experiences I shared. In other words they have not had a positive or negative experience but rather no experience.  I feel a great sadness for those brothers and sisters. When Jesus talked to the woman at the well in John 4 he offered her something that we have available to us today. He offered her the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.
Think about that for a moment. God indwells us as His children.  The ongoing daily presence of God in our lives.  Not just in the lives of super spiritual people or pastors or church leaders but God in the life of each and every one of His followers.  The eternal, all powerful and all loving God (along with a host of other character traits that we will get into starting in January) with us in a the most personal of ways all day long. Does this truth not challenge us to new heights of joy as well as new depths of understanding?
I long to be more sensitive/aware of God’s leading in my day to day life. I long to have my spiritual ears more attuned to the sound of God’s still smal voice whispering “Here is want I want you to do. Here is where I want you to go. Here is what I want you to say. Here is the person I want you to interact with.” The possibilities are only limited by my own insensitivity to God’s indwelling presence. I believe this has the potential to literally change our churches as well as change our lives. As we go about our own daily routines in life but growing more aware that the Spirit of God is in the business of leading us to accomplish that which is eternal and spiritual. How incredible is that?
You can sign up for this life today. Submit your heart/life to the control of God’s Holy Spirit. Ask Him to use you in your daily activities to accomplish His eternal purposes. Look out…we are a church that is going to change the world by the power of the Holy Spirit!

I can’t do that. I have said that more times than I would care to admit. A 180 yard golf shot from the fairway over the water and onto the green without ending up in the sand trap makes me say, “I can’t do that!” Sharing my faith with a complete stranger on an airplane makes me say, “I can’t do that.” Doing a devotional at a Junior High event makes me say, “I can’t do that.” Developing a vision for a local church that changes the world makes me say, “I can’t do that.” I could go on and on but you get the point.

It is very easy to sit down and conclude, “I can’t do that.” When I conclude that I can honestly tell you most of the time I have taken God out of the equation and come to the conclusion that I can’t do it. Taking God out or factoring God in changes everything about what I can or cannot do.

David factored God in and killed a giant. Moses factored God in and walked through the Red Sea on dry ground. King Saul factored God out and lost his kingdom. Peter factored God in, then factored him out as he walked on water and then sank. Joseph factored God in and rose through the ranks in Egypt to be the King’s right hand man even though his brothers sold him into slavery.

The Bible is full of people and stories that either factored God in or factored him out with the resulting evidence of which way they chose.  Our lives are no different and the history of Cornerstone Church will be no different.  What we accomplish from an eternal perspective will be directly related to what we did with God.  Did we seek His face, depend on his power and accomplish what he inspired us to accomplish?  Or did we have a good idea, work hard to accomplish it and do it with our own strength?

Our vision is to change the world with the love and message of Jesus Christ.  The really cool thing about that vision is that it is impossible to accomplish apart from God’s power.  I can’t do it but but but but but but but we can do it with God’s power.  At Cornerstone we are dreaming God shaped and God sized dreams.  A number of years ago I had a man ask me, “Russ, is your dream big enough to grab God’s attention?”  Wow that is a great question.

What can’t you do?  What can you do with God’s power?  Think about it.

Lead Pastor’s Blog I.VII

It’s happening! We said back at the beginning of the year that our vision is to change the world. We said we are going to work through four different avenues to see this happen. Let’s check it out:
1. The weekend of September 25th to 27th we have Charlie Fordham from Capernwray Bible School coming to Cornerstone and we will kick off our fall Men’s Ministry where we will give men a chance to get involved in a small group of men to grow in their relationship with Christ and each other. Our Friday morning Men’s Breakfast at Johnny Boy’s Diner (what a great name for a place for men to meet!)continues to have a solid turnout of 15 to 20 men even during the summer months. Men are memorizing scripture and being challenged to take their faith to the workplace. Lives are being changed.
2. We said we would be a place where prodigals are welcome. In the months of May and June our average attendance has been up significantly over previous years. The second Sunday in July saw us have over 300 people in church. During the past ten years we have only had more than 300 people in a July service twice. God is at work and lives are being changed. I have had conversations with a few people who have thanked me for the way God has reached out to them when they were not walking with Him.
3. We said we are going to surprise seekers with the grace of God. This is tougher to evaluate but as we as a body focus our attention on the goals at hand we unite around Christ and allow his grace to flow through us to others.
4. We said we would meet practical needs in our world. At Easter we raised $10,000.00 to fix water wells in Haiti one of the poorest countries in the world. We just received a report this week saying that we fixed four wells which will service over 4,000 people in four separate communities. Fresh water literally changes lives. Fresh water changes the world for people who did not have that basic need. Our church has assisted in bringing over one more daughter from the Baw family who was in a refugee camp. Their lives have been changed. This is great news. Our young people just returned from a mission trip to Trinidad and Tobago where they engaged people with the life changing news of Jesus offer of salvation. This just touches on a couple of highlights from this summer alone.
It is happening. Stay tuned and get involved…we are changing the world.

As I type this it is Thursday June 18th and we are hosting a major outdoor event on Sunday June 21st. I am stoked about this event but I have been keeping an eye on the weather forecast for about a week now knowing that the weather greatly affects the event. A week ago things looked great. Two days ago things looked great. I had a staff meeting where we discussed the event and we were all feeling pretty comfortable with the planning that we had invested so far into this event.

However as I logged on this morning and checked the weather forecast the weatherman has changed his mind. We went from a mid-twenties sunny forecast to a very low twenties and 80% chance of rain forecast. The weather forecast is not something you want to completely depend upon. The elements that decide the actual weather we receive fluctuate greatly and so what was forecast one day can quickly change the next day.

Some of us as Christians are a little bit like the weather forecast. You see us today and all is well. We have bright sunny faces and we are a joy to encounter. However you may bump into us the next day when an obvious storm cloud has moved in and you find us dark and unapproachable. It is true that life can throw some nasty curveballs at us but we do have a lot of assets to assist us through the difficult challenges of life. We have the enduring presence of the Holy Spirit to draw upon. With that said it is clear that God never leaves us….never. No matter what problems you are encountering or how up and down your life circumstances are there is this great constant in your life called God.

God is the opposite of the weather forecast. He does not promise one thing one day and then change His mind on a whim the next day. One of the great truths of scripture that has assisted a multitude of believers is that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. When everything around us seems so unreliable we need a rock. We need someone who is dependable. We need an unchanging God in a constantly changing world.

Our outdoor event is a Father’s Day Show and Shine or a car show. We would love bright sunny weather as our service is planned to be totally outside with a live band, great cars, a bar-b-que fundraiser and a brief message about a God we can count on. We want to have a morning where dads can feel very comfortable as we honor them and their unchurched car buddies who join them.

I am going to go and do two things. I am going to log on to the weather site to see what the forecast is now. After that I am going to spend some time in prayer with my unchanging and totally reliable heavenly Father.

Be blessed.
