A Pastor’s Heart<\/h3>\nA Pastor’s Heart<\/h3>\n\u201cFirst, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world.\u201d
\nRomans 1:8<\/p>\n
In the Lord, I could not be prouder of a church than I am of EBC. I know I\u2019m a little bit partial, but seriously I thank my God through Jesus Christ for each of you and all of you. You all are my joy and crown!<\/p>\n
To be sure we have our problems, sins and failings. There are things we need and can do better. There are areas of growth we need to be stretched into. But your faith is evident and you have been the source of blessing and much good to many people- not only in Star Valley but all over Wyoming, the U.S. and even the world. For the obscure place in which we are planted we have had tremendous fruit for the kingdom.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t say this to blow up your pride and cater to your flesh- I say this to encourage you. Sometimes in the midst of pressing duties and responsibilities we lose track of the big picture. We get discouraged and wonder if the sacrifices we make are worth it. We get weary in doing good. But do not faint, for we shall reap.<\/p>\n
Your love for each other is evident. O yeah, we sometimes have our family squabbles and tiffs, but by God\u2019s grace not only have these been rare but they have also been a source of growth for all of us. As a pastor I have grown much through the years- learning what is truly important- what are hills to die on and what aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve been gracious with me through much. For these things I am truly thankful to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you. I pray you will indulge more grace my direction in the years that lie ahead- and I in turn to you.<\/p>\n
Because of grace,
\nTim<\/p>\n
