A message from Max & Rose

Our Dear Friends

Rose and I would again like to say a big thank you for last Saturday night. When I wrote last week I was saying thank you to all in anticipation. Nothing prepared us for the great night it was. So many worked so hard to make it a night to remember. Thank you so much for coming. I think everyone enjoyed the night, in the midst of our sadness. But it was a wonderful celebration. So St. Philips past and present, to all who made the night possible and all who contributed in making us feel very special, thank you for honoring us, thank you for your generosity, thank you for the privilege and honour in serving our Lord Jesus Christ at St. Philips. We love you and we will miss you deeply.

Max & Rose.

WELCOME

DESTABILISATION/CONSOLIDATION.
  
To be in a destabilised state is not a good place to be. It may be that normal good health has begun to break down or old certainties have been questioned or familiar patterns disrupted.
Governments can become unstable and, in today’s world, destabilisation can become a political weapon not to say a weapon of terrorism, as nation states are undermined.
When destabilisation is present, so too are uncertainty, disorientation, confusion and fear of the future.

The Christian community addressed in the Letter to the Hebrews was in danger of destabilisation as a result of ridicule and severe persecution.  The hard slog of discipleship in the face of all this was taking its toll.  It was tempting to go back to old, secure and persecution-free ways rather than to go on with the Lord.

The St. Philip’s community is a strong community, built on solid foundations. However, we cannot escape the impact of destabilising factors.  One such factor is the loss of stable, senior leadership, occasioned by Max’s retirement.

What to do?

To take our cue from Hebrews, we need to regroup and to consolidate
    By looking to Jesus,
    By keeping on loving one another with a love that is generous,     practical and empathetic,
    By maintaining moral integrity,
    By a contented trust in the Lord,
    And by ensuring that the new leadership will speak     the word of     the Lord to us (Parish Nominators, please note.)

 There are great encouragements to keep on keeping on e.g.
    “Never will I leave you;
    Never will I forsake you.” (Deut. 31:6)

     “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid,
    What can human beings do to me? “ (Ps. 118:6)

 And the bottom line?  –  
    “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and     forever.”

See Hebrews 13: 1-8
