Pastor's News
To the Sojourners in Christ gathered in Ruston,
May his grace be near to you and help your heart be satisfied in Christ. I pray you are all well and are prepared for tomorrow's stormy forecast. I was at Presbytery yesterday and heard strong words of hope and confidence for the PCA.
First, in Sunday School we continue our series: Christology through Heresy. This week we will look at some movements that mixed legalism with bad Christology, which is always a recipe for a creative heresy.
In worship, we continue in our series by turning to Matthew 17:14–27. The passage has a strong message for children, adults, those who like governments, those who don't like government, and those who like fishing stories. I am pretty sure that is inclusive of all people. Something quite striking about the scene is how little it is used in modern discussions of Christian conduct. I remind that as politics in America continues to rage, we have a sure, fixed hope. We worship a sure and fixed king. We have nothing to fear, but heartfelt reverence for our triune God. So, come to be built up and equipped for this life and the next.

Pastor Chris
