You've been waiting for the reason. There isn't one. Not for the divorce. Not for the diagnosis. Not for the year that took everything and handed you a lesson you never asked to learn. "Everything happens for a reason" is what people say when they don't know what else to say. It sounds like faith. It's avoidance wearing a verse that isn't actually in the Bible. This Sunday we call that out by name. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR A REASON is week three of CHECK YOUR SOURCE, and it's about what actually holds you together when the reason never shows up. In person: 7941 47th St., McCook, IL, 10:30 AM Central. Bring the thing you've been trying to explain away. Leave it at the door if you have to. See you Sunday. Pastor Clarence E. Stowers, Jr. P.S. If you know someone still trying to find the reason in something that broke them, forward this. It's for them too. A word from this week's sponsor Today's sponsor is Shortform. If you want what a book actually says without giving up a week of your life to get there, Shortform breaks it down in one sitting. No filler, no fluff, just the ideas that matter. |
