So, this week, there are two ministries that I have a connection to that are winding down their work. God's Army Ministry, which has been worshipping in our church for the last year and is running a Community Kitchen out of our Auditorium, is drawing their work to a close with us at the end of June.
The Middlesex County Long Term Recovery Group, in operation since the weeks after Hurricane Sandy, is also concluding its work this summer.
And along comes John 3: 22-30, particularly verse 30, the "weight loss" verse. John the Baptizer says, "He must increase, but I must decrease." There is a changing of the guard. John was the voice of one who cried out in the wilderness, "Make straight the path of the Lord." Now the Lord has come down that path.
The increasing of the Lord Jesus, even when these ministries have completed their work, that is what the bible passage is telling me. What it is going to end up looking like, I do not know. But it is tugging at heart strings for me.
