Sunday October 18th

     One of the great gifts that a person can give to another person is commitment.  Jesus said, "if a marriage is going to work, a man has to leave father and mother and cleave to his wife."  Love is never cheap.  There is always a price that it is willing to bear for another.  When God loved us, He let go of His one and only Son, and let him be born of us.  Jesus, too, because of His love for us, let us go of His life and willingly suffered and died on the cross.  "No greater love can a man have than this, than to die for a friend.  You are my friends,"  Jesus said.  In a similar vein, Jesus said that if we loved Him we would feed His sheep.  We would pick up our cross and follow Him in living our life for God and for serving others.

     Beautiful Savior is going to celebrate God's call to us to serve Him on Sunday, October 18th in our worship service.  We are calling this Sunday CONSECRATION SUNDAY, a day when we consecrate ourselves and all that we have to the Lord.  CONSECRATION SUNDAY will really be a celebration as we take a moment to be together and witness to our call to serve the Lord.

     Please pray that God will use CONSECRATION SUNDAY to renew our faith and our commitment to Him.

There are three long-standing traditional statistics that I would like to challenge the members of Beautiful Savior to break.  These statistics have been standing for just too long and someone should do something about them.

There's no mistake about it, we are living in a world where virtual reality is with us every day.  Electronic technology allows us to have the sense the feeling of being present in places we are really no there.  Video games, telconferencing and Web cams provide visual and audio experiences that make us feel we are with someone else, who in reality may either be only a product of special effects animation or who is a real person but is 1,000 miles away in another city.
