Carpenter's Tools - By Pastor Wallace Phillips

This week’s message: M & M’s ......

I love M & M’s! There’s something about putting those colorful little chocolates in your mouth and biting down on them that just fulfills your heart’s desire. One thing I like about them is that they are different in color. Red, dark brown, light brown, green, yellow, blue….oh…..it’s so much fun when variety is present. In fact, remember when M & M’s occasionally will make a promotional bag of the same color? That’s so boring!

I like variety. It has been said that it’s the “spice of life”. Variety in ministry is fun too. I like variety in music.

I like variety in preaching style.

I like variety in service guests.

I like variety in the people in the pews.

That’s the joy of serving in a church with a kingdom mindset. It’s like a bag of M & M’s. You never know which one is going to make it’s way out when you tilt that little bag.

When we’re little we sing it this way --- “…Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight….Jesus loves the little children of the world.” When we’re old, we try to jump in the promotional bag – One style of music, one type of preaching, one type of person. Boring!

Get a kingdom mindset! Let the M & M Syndrome hit your life as a Christian. Revelation reminds us that “every nation, tribe, tongue, and language” will be around the throne worshipping the Lord and crying out….”….salvation belongs to our God!”.

The next time you pop some M & M’s remember …. He’s a God of variety. Have an awesome week and visit us on the web at www.cscministries.com or www.wallacephillips.org.
