Emptying Heaven's Warehouse
PASTOR'S BLOG
Bruce Wilkinson tells the story (perhaps it was a dream) about a Mr. Jones who was enjoying a personal tour of heaven. Eyes wide with wonder, he couldn’t get enough! But then he and his guide passed a large warehouse, which the
guide ignored. Perplexed Mr. Jones asked why they weren’t stopping. “Oh, it’s nothing you’d be interested in.” “But yes I am interested—please show me what’s inside.”
The guide relents, prepares for the disappointment, and opens the door. Turns out “the enormous building is filled with row after row of shelves, floor to ceiling, each stacked neatly with white boxes tied in red ribbons.” Mr. Jones begins to walk the aisles and quickly notices each box has a name on it. “Is there a box here for me?” he eagerly asks. The guide reluctantly nods but before he can explain, Mr. Jones races toward the J section of the warehouse, quickly locating the box with his name on it . . .
The Darkness Will Not Overcome
Beginning Friday, October 1
We are now in the final countdown for The Darkness Will Not Overcome with Pastor Richie Halversen. I personally invited two of the people I’ve been praying for today and want to encourage you to do the same. If you don’t have an invite card, you can use this link to invite them as well: pmchurch.org/overcome. Let's be in a spirit of prayer as we approach the launch and continue inviting our friends.
