As I sit in my office this afternoon, it is 65° in our corner of the northwest; the skies are blue, the breeze is calm. The only debris in our parking lot is from the fall leaves that are starting to drop. But in the southeast corner of our country, things are very different.
A couple weeks ago, Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc as she tore her way across Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, leaving devastation in her wake. And last night Florida was once again pummeled by Hurricane Milton. The destruction is mind boggling.
Now that the storm has passed, Floridians wait... for power to be restored and for water to recede. It will take weeks, months, perhaps even longer to assess the true cost of the damages and to rebuild what has been destroyed. Part of the assessment process will be to evaluate the integrity of the structures - roads, bridges, buildings, and the like - that were impacted by the storm.
To have integrity means to be whole, unbroken, consistent. It's important to know that the roadway is safe, that the foundation is stable, that the walls won't collapse. Integrity matters.
This week as we continue in our study of 2 Corinthians, we find the apostle Paul weathering a bit of a storm. His integrity is being questioned. But in the process he models for us what it looks like to be a person who is consistent, reliable, a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of person, the same in public that he is in private... a person of integrity.
I invite you to join us this Sunday as we continue in our 2 Corinthians series: Jars of Clay - His Strength :: Our Weakness. Our service is at 11 AM. You'll find us on Facebook, YouTube, or by clicking the Join Us Sunday button on our website. Or better yet, come join us in person!
If 11 AM doesn’t work for you, the service will be available on-demand, so that you can watch at a time that works better for your schedule.
I hope you'll join us this Sunday.
