first presbyterian church

“All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.”  [2 Timothy 3:16-17]

It seems like a lot of time has passed since I spent eight days in Minneapolis as a commissioner to the 219th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  Actually, it was only a couple of short weeks ago as I write this article.  I guess that’s the way it is when you’ve been in a foreign land and then find yourself back in the comfort of home and with family again.  It was certainly an honor to be able to represent you and our presbytery at such an event.  On the other hand, there were many mixed feelings as I try to take in all the debate and wrangling, and weigh that against the wonderful conversations I had with such a diverse group of participants.
