I just can’t get Dwaine Edmonds words out of my mind: “Digital addictions have left many of us anxious, irritable, lonely, stressed, depressed, sleepless and unhappy with life. Ironically, personal and family worship practices calm our minds, decrease loneliness, reduce stress, increase peace, fulfill our emotional needs and teach us contentment.” (Ministry Magazine, Back to the Altar, December 2022). He sites research reported by McLean Hospital (titled The Social Dilemma: Social Media and Your Mental Health) early last year. This personal and family time with Jesus is a matter of vida y muerte. This week, in our sermon series, we turn in our Bibles to the very first use of the word altar and find it wrapped in one of the most beautiful moments ever recorded.
In the closing days of 2022, speaker and author Dwain Esmond shared a direct appeal from his heart to pastors around the globe in an article titled Back to the Altar. The need, he says, is the broken worship altar ... [it] Represents the single greatest threat to [Christian] life and purpose... People who lack a consistent devotional walk with God cannot know Him, love Him, or effectively share Him with others. And the needed response, Esmond’s appeal, is that the restoration of personal and family worship among [Christians] is the most pressing need of our time... This February we will hear the call from sacred scripture to return to what was known in the Old Testament as the altar. What could be the potential for your journey with Jesus if you were to join a 28- day challenge of spending personal time (or increasing time), daily family time, and community worship time (joining a Sabbath School class or attending worship each week)? From February 5 - March 4 our Friend and Savior invites you to meet Him at the altar.

Have you ever asked yourself if you qualify to be used by God to witness for Him? I have. Often. And the fact is that, according to the gospel of Jesus, the answer is a resounding yes. It turns out that what qualifies people to witness for God is none of the things that we as humans would consider when describing someone's qualifications. Whatever this New Year brings, may we come to embrace the call of God's kingdom in our lives every single day. May we always be willing to tellthe story of how God transformed us, giving us purpose and restoring beauty in our chaos. Happy New Year to you and yours and may you be welcome here at Campion Church.
We're just a handful of hours away from the end of 2022 and the arrival of a new year. How are you going to spend these final moments? Some people might use this as an opportunity to reflect on what has been accomplished over this past year and assessing their progress toward their goals. Others will start preparing for 2023, perhaps even getting a jump start on their upcoming resolutions. Now replace the end of this year & the arrival of the new year with the end of time & the arrival of Jesus. We're a step closer to the promised Second Coming; how are you going to spend these final moments? Are you reflecting on how God has led you thus far, or perhaps getting a jump start on "Kingdom living"? We're glad that you've chosen to spend these precious moments worshiping with us as we all prepare for that great final countdown.
