I just finished reading "Trusting God With the Problem of Sin" (June WN), and I guess WOW is the closest word I can find to describe how I felt. This article seemed to take all the previous articles and snap them into focus. I had a fair grasp of grace but now it is so much clearer.
I am excited to see the solidness and yet the simplicity of the explanations presented in the WN. I am impressed by the fact that even the smallest congregation in this denomination has such guidance so that we are not left to figure things out for ourselves.
The structure causes both the laity and the leaders to work from the same page. We can progress toward Christian maturity at our own pace but still stay on the same road together.
The bottom line is that I am proud to be a part of this denomination. I am excited at having the chance to preach the true gospel. I am humbled by seeing that the Spirit is working in front of me to make that road passable. I believe we are now in the finest hours of the WCG's history and it only looks like it will get better. Thanks to all of you who help keep us focused on the common goal of trusting Jesus.
It is indeed a good day to love God.

I enjoy reading and knowing about the churches in different parts of the world and the way our church is helping other people in many ways. I'm glad we can make a difference--a positive uplifting difference--in the lives of many people.
