From the Desk of Pastor Jim…

Controlling your thought life We think all the time. We observe, record, and process information faster than

any computer on earth. And we store information and imagery better, too. The

human brain is absolutely amazing in its capability to capture and catalog things.

Know this, what we take into our minds definitely influences what comes out in

our lives. Our habits are the results of our actions, which are the results of our

thoughts.

So be choosy when it comes to what you allow into your mind. Be discriminating.

Don’t just allow anything and everything to filter into your mind. So it’s up to you

to take control of your thought life. Second Corinthians 10:5 says, “We destroy

every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their

rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.” Guard your mind and be

disciplined in the way that you think. There are four kinds of material with which

you can fill your mind.

1. Poison Poison includes pornography, the occult, trashy novels, things that blaspheme

God, and anything that is bad for your mind. Paul says in Romans 16:19, “I want

you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.”

In Psalm 101:3, David says, “I will set no vile thing before my eyes.” It’s a

promise he made to himself not to look at anything that was bad and unhealthy

for his mind. You might need that verse as the background on your phone, your

computer, or even right above your television! Realize that pornography and

other harmful forms of media aren’t innocent or powerless. They change the way

you think.

2. Stuffing Stuffing is simply stuff. It’s neither good nor bad. As Paul says in 1 Corinthians

10:23, “All things are lawful, but not all things edify.” He’s saying that some

things are not necessarily wrong; they’re just not necessary. A lot of books,

movies, and television shows are just stuffing. They’re not harmful; they’re just

“there.”

3. Brain Food These are things that inspire you, teach you, help you grow, teach you a skill, and

make you a better person. Paul says in Philippians 4:8, “Keep your minds on

whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper.”

4. The Bible When we hide God’s Word in our hearts through reading, meditation, and

memorization, it keeps us on the right track. You have to decide what you’re

going to fill your mind with because it’s going to come out of your life. At what

point do you become righteously indignant, shut down the computer or turn off

the television, and declare, “I’ve had enough”? Let the Bible become the filter

through which everything is judged worthy or unworthy of taking up space in your

mind.

Church Council Communication Corner Church Council meets the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30 PM in the small

kitchen with an agenda-setting meeting on the first Tuesday of the month, also at

6:30 in the small kitchen. The Council encourages any member of the

congregation who would like to bring something before the Council to contact any

council member or attend the agenda-setting

Highlights from the June Council Meeting: Approved 12 new tables in Activity Center for quilters

Reviewed security around the church and will continue discussion

Approved Safety Committee to have class from hospital on applying

tourniquets

First communion classes will be held for eligible students this fall;

confirmation to resume in September

Youth and Education Call Committee scheduled to have their initial meeting on

June 24

Approved the use of the Church Alliance group to provide legal assistance to

Faith, if needed, at the cost of $500 per year

Safety Committee Announces Plan for FLC The Safety Committee was tasked with devising a plan that will ensure that the

congregation and its guest’s safety while on the grounds and in the buildings of

the church. The church has a total of seventeen (17) entrances into the buildings.

This is fine for ingress and egress, but it is a challenge when trying to design a

safety plan. The plan will require patience and understanding on the part of the

congregation.

The Safety Committee determined that the plan needed to cover three (3) areas

of concern.

A shooter on the grounds or in the buildings.

A fire that has started in the building.

Bad weather (a tornado or high winds) moving toward the church.

To combat those concerns, the Safety Committee has been divided into three (3)

“action” teams.

A Shooter Reaction Team,

A Fire Reaction Team

A Bad Weather Reaction Team

These teams developed plans to cover their area of concern. These plans will

require some modification of the facilities. The hallway of the Education Wing and

its rooms that do not have windows will be modified and will be used as a “fall-

out” shelter or a “shelter-in-place.” Cameras will be mounted inside and outside

the building with a central monitor that will be manned during church services by

a member of the Safety Committee.

The most significant change that the congregation will notice concerns the

entrances. Some of the doors will be locked ten (10) minutes after the service

begins and open ten (10) minutes before the end of the service. At some point

during the church year, an evacuation drill will be held during the service. An

orderly evacuation is requested. The entire safety plan will be available in the

church office for review.

Camp Eagle—July 15-22 Faith will send 20 youth and 3 adults for a Bible-saturated week in the hill

country near Rocksprings! The group will leave following worship on

Sunday, July 15th, and return around 5:00 PM on Friday, July 20th. This

summer the camp will embark on a journey that will cause us to look at

the ‘shipwrecks’ in our lives, our need to be rescued, and how God’s

rescue can change us positively! We will be focusing on Acts and

Philemon. Faith will join approximately 400 other youth from

congregations all throughout Texas!

Please remember our youth and their sponsors, Pastor Jim, Janet

Wolber, and LeAnne White in prayer. Prayers are requested for safety, for

help in relationship building within the group as well as with those they

meet, and for the mission of this camping ministry. May God’s Spirit work

through them and allow them to grow in their knowledge and love of our

Lord Jesus Christ.

The annual LCMC Convention and Youth Gathering is slated for July 27-28! FAITH LUTHERAN WILL COVER THE COST FOR ALL OF OUR YOUTH WHO ATTEND!

Do What

Jesus Did

A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to help lead one of our congregations

in a retreat seeking to discern God's vision for their future. We had a wonderful time

as we pursued what God's dream might be for the congregation.

We discovered together that vision is the picture of God's preferred future and is

critical for God's people to discern. For the consequences of our inattention to vision

is dire. In the King James Version, Proverbs 29:18 reads "Where there is no vision,

the people perish." The Christian Standard Bible translates the same verse this way:

"Without revelation, people run wild." In other words, when we take our eyes off

the picture of God's preferred future, we replace God's desires for our own... and we

run wild... which ultimately leads to perishing.

With all of this in mind, we broke the big group into smaller groups of 3 and 4 people

to discuss what it might look like if the congregation would become the church God

desired it to be in the future. A couple of minutes into the small group discussion

time, one table called me over to ask me a question: "It's easy for us to know what

we want for the future of the church, but how are we supposed to know what God

would want for us?"

I suggested that when we don't know what to do, we should simply start with Jesus

as we meet him in the gospels. As followers of Jesus, we are invited to join Jesus in

what he's doing in our community and world. And what Jesus is doing today and will

do tomorrow is always consistent with what Jesus has done in the gospels. In

Romans 12:1-2, Paul admonishes the church "to present your bodies as a living

sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship. Do not be conformed to

this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern

what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God."

So I encourage you to ask this all important question: What would our church be like

if God were in charge of everything? Kind of ironic, isn't it? Shouldn't God be "in

charge"? If we take seriously that Jesus is not only savior, but also Lord, then it is

time we stop pursuing what we want for our churches and start pursuing God's

dream for us instead. Let's start with doing what Jesus did, joining him on his mission

right where God has planted us.

Message from Linda Dietz — Missionary to Uganda What a blessing it has been to have such wonderful support from my Church Family! You have helped send me on this trip monetarily, as well as providing additional funds for Bibles in Uganda. It will make it possible to give a Bible to every new house church that is organized while we are there and provide a resource for Bibles as needed in Uganda.

Your donations have helped support me for travel to Uganda, but the most important need for the success of this ministry of church planting is the corporate prayer of our prayer teams. Please consider joining others in praying for the success of this church planting mission trip. Pray also that the Holy Spirit will fill each of the teams with boldness to be Your witness; to help us speak effectively of God’s love and grace; and if necessary to confirm the message of salvation with miraculous signs and wonders.

When you receive your July newsletter, I will on my way to Uganda. I leave Wednesday, June 27 at 1:40 pm – we have a 12 hour overnight layover in Dubai Thursday night (we get an hotel) and an overnight in Entebbe, Uganda Friday night. The final flight is Saturday morning, June 30, from Entebbe to Arua, Uganda. The first week will find us at Rhino Camp. Over 1.5 million refugees have fled the fighting in South Sudan and are housed in 5 refugee camps in Northern Uganda. One of the camps is Rhino near Arua, a “town” of 70-85 thousand mostly women and children. Our focus in Rhino Camp is to find persons of peace and establish home churches of family, neighbors and friends.

My second week will be in Fort Portal, Uganda. The ministry focus will be the same—planting house churches, but there we will partner with existing churches to train the church members to share their faith and reach out into the community to see house churches form. Each morning we will train believers and after a late lunch we will accompany the members on outreach. The plan is to train at least 3 churches in this outreach method.

I look forward to sharing with the congregation when I return the many stories of faith and hope that are witnessed during this two week outreach. Pray for my safe return. I leave Uganda Saturday night, July 14, at 10 pm and arrive back in San Antonio Sunday night, at 11 pm (no long layovers!)
