Happy Monday, Church Family!
May the Lord bless you richly as you begin a new week.
It was so good to see many of you at church this past Sunday. It’s always a gift to get away—and an even greater joy to come home.
Do you have a favorite movie? I have a few, but one of the most meaningful to me is Dead Poets Society. I watched it as a teenager, and it left a lasting impact on me. Last night, Joyce and I watched it again with our older children for movie night, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
There’s a memorable scene early in the film: on the first day of class, Mr. Keating—an unconventional and inspiring teacher—takes his students to the hallway of school portraits. He urges them to look into the faces of students long gone and says, “Carpe Diem”—Latin for “Seize the day.” From that moment on, he helps each student find their voice and chase their dreams, even in the face of challenge.
As I reflected on our Sunday Scripture from Acts 5 and the story of Billy Graham, it felt like a wake-up call for my soul. “Carpe Diem,” they whispered—Seize the day.
If you missed Sunday’s service, I invite you to read the message and watch the service online:
