WPC Blogs

This is my first foray into the world of blogging.  At WPC we believe that we grow best when we grow in community and that community results from spending time together.  For many of us getting together in small groups is one way we strive to build that community in our lives, but for all of us finding the time to gather with friends is becoming more and more difficult.  I am hoping that this blog will become a small group of sorts.  A place where we can build community with folks we can't always sit down with face to face.  So every week for the next few weeks I will be posting an entry of my thoughts about discipleship.  Please join in the converstaion as you can.  Here is the first entry.

1 Peter 2:2 "Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good."

Once you have tasted that the Lord is good, you crave more of his goodness in your life.  And the more you partake of his goodness, the more you grow.  We call this process discipleship.  True discipleship requires more than learning about God, it requires knowledge coupled with action.  To be a disciple of Jesus Christ is to engage in the process of being conformed to his image.  Exchanging our self-centered desires for His selfless sacrifice, our self-serving actions for His servanthood, our heart for His.  We know we are making progress in our spiritual growth when the goodness of God is reflected in our own lives.  When our outward life becomes a place where others can see and taste that the Lord is good.

At WPC we strive to provide both education about God's goodness and opportunities to present his goodness to others through our actions.  On Saturday and Sunday, April 25^th and 26^th we have just such an opportunity.  Our church will be joining other members of the community to help with the final build project by Our Town Our Park of adding a pavilion, picnic tables, benches and tiles created by kids to the play area at Storvik Park.  If you would like to help with this project contact me by clicking here.  Come taste and see that the Lord is good!
