Reaction to Today's LeaderLines: On the Right Track

It's always great to get affirmation that we're on the right track. I received this e-mail from a friend and Hillcrest member after she had read today's LeaderLines. I edited the e-mail to keep it anonymous and got her permission to post it here:

Wow. I was feeling pretty okay and then realized that in the indented paragraph, only the substance abuse and smoking haven't at some point applied to me. Heck, I even have a history of the problem men struggle with. (If Burke updated his book, he'd probably edit it to note that women now look at almost as much online pornography as men).

The good news, though? I was welcomed at Hillcrest with open arms. I think Hillcrest welcomes everyone, of all income levels and histories, in a warm, beautiful way.

No sin or poor choice any of us make is more powerful than what Jesus did on the cross for us. If we keep that in mind, loving everyone becomes less of a chore.

I hope her experience with Hillcrest is typical for everyone who walks in our doors! We want to be a place to "find and follow Jesus together."
