For it is by grace you have
Pastor’s Message
been saved, through faith—
and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— Recently I joined one of those point tracking and coupon groups at Sears. I like their
not by works, so that no one tools, so with the promises of future discounts on tools, I joined up. They send me Emails with specials, and this morning’s specials are Craftsman Quiet Snow Blowers. Being
can boast.

that this is my third winter in Crockett, and I have yet to shovel snow, I am in no hurry
to purchase one. In fact, I bet the local Sears does not have one unless it was shipped
here by mistake. I don’t even need to think about if I need a snow blower or not. My bet
is if I lived here another 100 years I would not need a snow blower. The advertisement
was nice. The promises of a quiet, trouble-free operation were well done and they are on
sale! If you call in and tell them the size of your driveway they will even help you pick the
best one to meet your needs. By now, you have guessed even with this great advertisement: No Sale. Why? Well it is obvious: I will never need a snow blower in Crockett, TX.
This leads me to this question: Do we make the same mistake in the church? That is, do
we assume that people in the world need the equivalent of a spiritual snow blower even
though there is no chance of snow in the forecast of their lives?
I almost dismissed the advertisement from Sears before I read it because I really don’t
have time to read an advertisement for something I don’t need. In this case, the offer
goes in the deleted e-mail bin before even being considered.
Paul was a master of evangelism because he understood something besides scripture. He
understood his audience. He understood their need. He understood their thinking. He
became a student of the lost. And after all, isn’t being a student of a person a means of
loving them? In 1 Corinthians 9:22 Paul said. “When I am with those who are weak, I
share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common
ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some.” Many people do not consider that God brings real solutions to real people with real problems. Paul understood
that to spread the good news, he had to learn what the problem was. Then Paul had faith
that God has real solutions for real people in real places.
The world is shifting quickly, so we must ask ourselves: Do we continue to try to sell the
world the equivalent of a snow blower in Crockett through slick marketing, or do we
engage people and find their pains, and hurts, and hang-ups? The only way we will learn
the questions and problems people have is to be in relationship with non-church people.
We as the people of God need to go and make relationships. And when we do encounter
these questions and problems, we must be prepared that a one-size-fits-all answer may
fall short. People may need to start with a relationship with a person who knows God.
We all need friends. Real friends, and real relationships.
Are we willing to become whatever is necessary so that some maybe saved? God became
human so that we may be saved. Let us not be afraid to follow His lead.

Financials
Our financial condition is doing well.
Our giving and income is $13,423 over
budget through September. Because of
the income being over budget we have
already paid 100% of our apportionments and special
offerings. I just want to say well done congregation.
Presently we have $80,000 in our operating account.
This is an excellent number because you do want
several months of expense in the bank as liquidity.
Our expenses are tracking close to budget with some
exceptions. Our utilities are over budget and our
property upkeep is over budget. We are trying to do
more maintenance out of operations. We will be
working on the 2015 budget and we hope to increase
our budget for growth. That is we will be looking at
ways to increase outreach. I am also prayerful that in
2015 we will continue to decrease our dependence
on the endowment
Biblical Garden
BEANS -- may refer
to Fava Bean Vicia faba
in 2 Samuel 17, or
Chickpeas Cicer arietinum in Isaiah 30:24.
Both were used for
food and as medicine
to treat cancer.
The Crockett Garden Club will hold their monthly
meeting in the First United Methodist Church Family Life Center on Thursday, November 6, at 9:30
am. Jim Renfro, Master Naturalist, will present a
slide show and talk on “Birds in Your Garden”.
Anyone interested is welcome to attend.
The Crockett Garden Club will have a Fall Plant and
Bulb Sale on Friday, November 7, from 10 to 5 at
the Old Filling Station across from First United
Methodist Church. Bedding plants offered will be
Alyssum, calendula, dianthus, pansies, snapdragons,
and violas. Bulbs for sale will be daffodils, hyacinth
and grape hyacinth, iris, ranunculus, and white spider lilies.
Local honey and handcrafted Bluebird houses will
also be for sale as well as many surprises. All profits
are used for community beautification projects.
Several groups from out of town have toured the
Plants of the Bible Garden this month and more
plant specimens have been added to the garden. If
you have not visited the garden here on the church
grounds, do make plans to come by. The weather is
great and the plants are looking happy!
