Meet the Pastor

Pastor Keith Johnson I'd like to welcome you to St. John's Lutheran Church. Remember, no matter how much things seem to change around us, there is one truth that never changes. That truth is the love that God desires to GIVE to all who worship him as Lord. Fortunately worshipping God, worshipping Jesus Christ as Lord of all, is precisely what we here at St. John's are all about. God has given us all his gift of faith and it is this gift of grace that will help us in our daily lives. We hope to see you soon. Pastor Keith Johnson The Pastor's Pen Greetings, Brothers and Sisters in Christ,   We are once again entering the month where this nation traditionally celebrates the offering of thanks. With news of elections and wars and economic concerns and disease and natural disasters dominating the headlines, one might wonder just what there is to be thankful for.                          I was pondering that very question during morning devotions when the Spirit led me to 1 Corinthians 13:4, which tells me that, “Love is patient.” Think about that for a moment. When we consider all of the things God does for us, do we ever really stop and think how patient God is with us? I know how quickly I lose my temper, my focus, my patience, and I don’t have anywhere near the responsibility that God does…why is that?   Could it be that God knows that His plan for His creation is a good one? Could it be that God knows the only one you can truly depend upon within this plan is God? Could it be that God is patient with us because he knows His plan is not dependent upon us and therefore His plan is really a gift of GOOD NEWS to us, a gift in which He invites us to share with Him on account of His grace and love toward us?   During this hectic time in the world maybe we can say thank you to God by following His example of patience for us and not run so rapidly to position of fear and doubt as we ponder the day’s headlines…what do you think?     In Christ, Pastor Keith
