Changing Our Perspective - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Rereading his message
on this day
important to our land
the major sermon
the world as God would see it
a new definition of blessing
what it means, how to live
blessed in so many ways
foreign from the world’s calling
the priorities of man
building up those without favor
sharing love with our neighbors
that all would know God

“This Sunday my sermon is titled “Pursuing More Than Happiness,”
and it is based on Matthew 5:1-13. If you have a few minutes to read
this passage of scripture prior to attending the service, you might get
a little more out of the sermon. In this sermon, I want to challenge us all
to live with greater intentionality and to find deeper levels of meaning
for our lives. Instant gratification can be the enemy of faithful living.
Intentionality is the path to blessedness.”
