The Great Passion Play celebrated its 47th Anniversary today, by not having a "play day", but it certainly was a work day. We had a group of Texas Team Effort kids for the third day this week and after watching the Play last night they were enthusiastic about the tasks we had for them to do. It was the hottest day of the year with a heat index in the 110's. It was a good day, and after I wrote a one line blog late last night about there not being any small parts, and it not sending for some reason, I realized again today that most of the tasks we do are pretty mundane and seemingly unimportant, but each one is essential for the "whole" to operate. Whether it's having a minor role in the Play, painting lines in the parking lot, picking up trash in the amphitheater, painting picnic tables, cleaning rest rooms, mowing, weeding or a host of other physical or mechanical tasks, they all contribute to the message we are trying to convey through this ministry.
These are not the most favorable times for many Christian ministries, for individual believers and churches facing doctrinal issues because of the secular climate in many of our communities and the nation at large. We need to stand up for Jesus, for the Gospel message and the standards which led to the formation of our country and the principles on which it functioned for so many years. We need to defend our beliefs, be proud of our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit, and celebrate our past, live each day with joy and rest in the assurance of our future destination. Happy Anniversary, GPP, and to God be the glory, honor and praise.
