Pastor Doug's Thought for Today May 19

May 19th, 2026
by Doug Walter

Good Morning,
What a storm! We had 3.25 inches of rain last night bringing us to 3 day total over 5 inches. We had some limbs down, but I saw large branches down on my way to church. The power went out and I had to bring everything back up at church due to the outage. MDO is on break so we will have a little quieter day. I hope you are all safe and have a great day!

Blessings, Doug

Today's Scripture

James 3:17-18 (New International Version)

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.

Today's Thought

I want us to take notice of what James says/. Wisdom from heaven is pure. James then points us to the characteristics of pure wisdom. Wisdom is peace-loving, it is considerate, it is submissive, full of mercy and good fruit. This is significant in thinking about our path forward. It appears to me we have embraced distorted wisdom. May we regain purity of wisdom. May we love God and love our neighbor. Just a thought for today!
