Welcome to First Baptist Rincon
Let me tell you a short story.
There was a man who surfed around in virtual reality for a long
time,
checking out religious sites and even sending and receiving messages
from
pastors and other religious leaders. But after a while, he decided
that he
just wasn't connecting with people; it wasn't enough. What should he
do? He
picked a religious group that really touched his heart, and one day
he
decided to drop in on them, in the flesh. This man was Jesus Christ.
You
see, God decided that being in heaven was not enough; that to really
change
mankind he needed to get down in the real world among us, so God
"became
flesh" as John 1:14 puts it, and Jesus Christ came to give us
meaningful
life one earth and eternal life in heaven.
Now if virtual reality was not good enough for God, my guess is that
it
isn't good enough for you or me, either. We need real live
relationships. We
just cannot get all of our spiritual needs met on the Internet
alone. We're
glad you've stopped in on our web page. Now, why don't you drop in
on us in
the flesh? If you do, I believe you will sense the Spirit of God at
work.
Oh, don't get me wrong. We're not a perfect church, and I'm
certainly
not a perfect pastor. But there is an enthusiasm about serving
Christ in
this church that is contagious. Come see for yourself. I pray that
you will
catch the virus-- not a virus that will infect your computer, but
your
heart.
Sincerely,
Bob Rogers, pastor
