From the Pastor's Desk:
The use of the word "Go" in the English language is interesting. By definition, "go" means: to move along; to proceed; to move to or from a particular place; depart; begin to move. We are always "on the go." We "go" to work. We "go" to school. We "go" to Walmart. We "go" to church. We "go" home. Another way we use the word "go" is in cheering for our favorite sports player or team. Oftentimes we can be heard yelling, "Go! Go! Go!" In fact, the 1959 Chicago White Sox baseball team was known as the "Go, Go Sox!" They obtained that nickname because they were always bunting, or stealing a base ... always "on the go" daring the other team to get them out.
Some of Jesus' last words contained the word, "Go." He commanded His followers to "Go" and preach/teach/proclaim the Good News of the Gospel of salvation to all the world. Whether we "go" to Africa, or Japan, or Mexico, or Florida, we are to take the Gospel message there. And keep in mind, one does not have to "go" to the other side of the world ... we can all "go" to our families, neighborhoods, and friends with the Gospel. Are you willing to "go" wherever God leads you?
