Folk hear me talk about the dramatic changes/reversals for the east Charlotte community where our church is located. I started on the same litany again this past week with a Presbyterian elder. I bemoaned the fact that there is such poverty – closed businesses – deteriorating housing all around us. AND HIS RESPONSE? “Just where Jesus would want to be!” I couldn’t argue the point – not biblically – not theologically. The hurting/needy world – just where Jesus IS and wants His church to be.
Pray for the Albemarle Road Presbyterian Church (and all churches) that carpe diem – we seize the day!
Grace and Peace,
A fellow struggler – Ron
