David Trimmier Sat, 27 Feb 2010 16:36:17 +0000 http://www.pastorrobertson.net/?p=103#comment-85 Pastor George, Carolyn and I continue to be blessed by the worship and sermons at First Pres. We are amazed at God's Grace to us and the healing we have experienced in our marriage and personal life. We just wanted you to know and to thank you for your ministry in the Word. I am also excited re the new addition of the Trinity Hymnal. I first was exposed to the Trinity at RTS - Jackson and came to love its message and tunes. My first church in DeKalb MS bought the old blue version. Then when I was a mission Pastor in New Smyrna Beach we bought the new red one...I can remember going to G.A. and "lobbying" the OP's to merge with the PCA in producing it. God Bless and look forward to this Lord's Day. C. David Trimmier Pastor George,

If Jesus could save me, he could save anyone!” . . The Christ who befriended Mary Magdalene is the Christ we desire to share with everyone and anyone who will allow us to befriend them." Pastor George, :) This sounds like the Savior's heart. I'm thankful it's my shepherd's heart too. I'll endeavor to honor this adminition with my behavior. “The most important point to make is that we must always view our fallen world and fellow sinners in it through the lens of the Cross.When you meet or interact with or read about a homosexual, do not think first of his sexuality—think first, “Here is a fellow sinner who needs my same Savior.

We can do so much to care for those around us. Individuals in the church (voluntarily) help and serve those less fortunate, like the good samaritan. I'm concerned, though, about the increasing collectivist tones of these policies which would be like the good samaritan forcing others to help. Also, we would definitely be swimming upstream if we focused on preventive health and disease treatment through nutrition and healthful lifestyles instead of disease management and symptom alleviation in our current pharmaceutical/profit driven system. The sad truth is that so many of us working in healthcare need sick people, not healthy people for our livelihoods. Mark 2:17 "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick."
