Communing Together Draws Us Closer to God

I’m so glad you picked up this month’s issue of River Region Christians because we want to inspire you to draw closer to Christ.

I’ve been a Christian for a long time, but on a recent trip with friends I was reminded how important it is to be lifted up in your faith by others. Even if you’ve been to seminary and taught the Word for many years as I have. We talked about God together on our long drive and around the dinner table as we tried new foods together and made special memories. We found ourselves corporately celebrating our Father in Heaven and His works of grace in our lives. Of course, our conversations impacted those we encountered as well because His goodness was fresh on our minds. Together we communed with God and our faith grew together.

You and I aren’t sitting at a table together, but through this month’s issue, we are seeking to build up your faith in the same way. In this world, where self-focused philosophies seek to train our thinking every day, taking in God’s truths is incredibly important, lest we chase after the wrong things and end up with less than God offers us. I pray your faith is made stronger as you read through the pages of our June issue.

River Region Christians is a ministry to the entire River Region and all those seeking to know the Lord. But we couldn’t share God’s hope apart from our advertisers. They are our ministry partners, so when you require a service or product that they can meet, please contact them first. Also, we would love to partner with you and your business if you’re a Christian who wants to serve more customers while promoting Christ.

Finally, many new families are moving into our area during these summer months. Please make sure you share your copy of River Region Christians with a new neighbor so they can get connected and grow in their faith. Christians are called to be a blessing and sharing this month’s issue with a neighbor is an easy way to bless others. Together in Christ.
