Finding the Win Win

One of the things I’ve been learning has been how much better our lives would be if we could all just learn the skill of finding the “win win” for all parties involved.  Whether it be in our marriages, manager/employee relationships, policy debates, friendships, etc., I would venture a guess that this approach produces results and outcomes that are so much better than those of “win for me at any cost,” “protect the ideology or bust,” and “dogma / tradition shall not be questioned.”

Yet, what makes this so difficult?  I’m mulling this one over and would welcome your thoughts, esp. as the LIGHT! is looking for the best ways to bridge the gaps in the multi-faceted issue of inequality in our country.

*** October 4th, 2026 *** 

Can you believe fall is here?  All Hallow’s Eve and Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  We wish you the wonderful opportunity to experience God’s beauty with the changing of the leaves and colors of His amazing creation!

Our prayer here at the LIGHT! is that you would experience God’s love and reflect the light of Jesus to all whom the Spirit brings into your life.  In excelsis Deo!

Please pray for the war that we are undertaking with Iran right now.  Pray for the soldiers who are in harms way and for the family of those who’ve fallen.  Pray that we would be able to achieve peace and be clear about why we are there.

Please continue to pray for our divided country.  May not only the Truth of Jesus prevail but also the “truth” of reality.  Helping Americans to focus more on solving problems using facts rather than debating even what the facts are is much more productive.  Let the politicians focus on *policy*.  We, as the Church, should focus on our *culture* and not depend on policy to define culture.  As we have said many times, “you can’t legislate morality.”  We can, however, be “winsome” as the Bible encourages us to be, and “win some” of our friends who are not yet believers to the faith!

Please pray for peace in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel.  We unequivocally support Israel’s right to defend itself.  We support non-Hamas affiliated Palestinians who want peace – they need humanitarian relief.  Israel should not be oppressing these folks.

Continue to pray for the Ukraine & Russian people suffering under Putin. Please pray for President Trump to stand against this aggression and to ensure the continued aid for the Ukrainians to keep fighting for their independence from the authoritarian regime of Vladimir Putin. 

*** Based on your feedback we will shift to hosting the services online even after the risk of COVID has lessened ***

Services
Our current focus is on learning more about “Welcoming the Stranger” – God’s heart for us as His people in how we show hospitality to those who are aliens in our land – status notwithstanding.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
