This Weeks Chapters: John 3 - 7
Pastor Julie Beemer
John 4:35; "Do you not say: 'It is still four months until harvest time comes?' Look! I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields and see how they are already white for harvesting."
My life is one continual tick list! Without a tick list nothing would ever get done! Such satisfaction comes with every box that is ticked! However there are always one or two items that never seem to get ticked. These are the Big Tasks!
Big tasks are the worst! Big tasks overwhelm me. I tend to just not think about it and say I will do something about it 'later'. If it is not a major situation that needs fast action immediately it gets put on the next page to deal with when it becomes a crisis. If it doesn't become a crisis it stays on the list until somehow it gradually disappears.
Alert Alert!! The verse above is a CRISIS verse. You can see for yourselves Jesus taking us by the shoulders and talking very sternly. STOP right now Julie, Open your eyes and take a good look at this situation! If you don't help me with this harvest we will lose it! Quit putting this on the next page! This won't gradually disappear!
Here is a helpful tick list to help with this crisis:
Realise I need to do something about this now!
- Find areas at WHBC I can get involved in today
- Click on the Website under 'About' / 'What We Do' this can help you decide the kind of things that might be right for you
- Or go ask Pastor Alan & Claire where I can help!
- Get involved and have fun!
- Relax that you are doing your part with Jesus' Tick List!

Hi Pastor Julie - Good Stuff ! And don’t forget to remind anyone asking for more help with organising their busy lives to check-out WHB Training centre - we have a great course on PERSONAL MANAGEMENT - Roles, Core Values, Goals, Planning & Action Plans - great fun but also really valuable tools for maximising your effectiveness for the Lord !
PS: (the preachy bit) - isn’t it interesting that the man waiting at the pool didn’t answer Jesus’s question, but saw Him instead as the answer to the
problem “as he saw it” (ie: someone to help him into the pool)- then Jesus gave him the answer he really needed !! So often we ask God to send Mr.Fix-It to do it our way, when He already has
sent Jesus to fix it for us HIS WAY !! “Seek ye first the kingdom Matt6.33 .... Amen
God Bless, Gordon :o)
