How is your relationship with Jesus? In the third and fourth centuries, followers of Socrates and other Greek philosophers began to influence the Church in ways that were different from the traditional Jewish roots of the early Church. The Greek influence appealed more to the intellect, whereas the early Church Hebrew model appealed to the heart. The Greek influence resulted in more emphasis on preaching and intellectual knowledge of God. Over the many centuries, this influence has shown itself in a more systematic approach to the gospel rather than a process of living out our faith. So why is it important for us to understand this? I realized in my own life that I was a product of this Greek system. My walk with Christ focused more on what I knew rather than on an intimate and powerful walk with God. Just knowledge about God without power to express the life God wants to live within is of little value. The more systematic the focus, the less emphasis we place on building deep and caring relationships that result in changed lives. Our early Church fathers knew there was a cost to living out the Word of God, not simply giving mental assent to it. Are you walking with God today in an intimate fellowship? Or, are you only involved in programs and activities designed to do good things? Reflect on Proverbs 23:12: "Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge." We must listen and respond with the heart. Whatever service we give to God should be a result of our relationship with our heavenly Father, not an end unto itself. In Christ, David The Valentine Brunch hosted by the Just As We Are Sunday School class was definitely appreciated by those attending. It was a great time of blessing and fellowship. The food was delicious and the singing of the old hymns was thoroughly enjoyed. To top it off, the waiters and waitresses at Golden Corral and Red Lobster have nothing on our own Park Baptist servers! Thank you, thank you! From a grateful guest!!
