Serving Your Community

Christian Living, Missions, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekDecember 17, 2020Leave a comment

Just a couple of years after ReCAST Church was getting off the ground over a decade ago, I was asked to join a group of community leaders about starting a food pantry in Mattawan that would be a collaboration of local churches and businesses.  There were some small disconnected groups that were each serving several…

Stop Bobbing with Every Wave

Christian Living, Church, Pastors' Blog, Personal, WorldviewBy Don FilcekDecember 10, 2020Leave a comment

The church has been a stable influence on culture down through the ages.  To be clear, the church has changed in traditions and in externals, but her mission has remained the same!  We still proclaim a risen Lord.  We still proclaim love for God and love for our neighbors as ourselves.  We still gather together…

Living With the Question Mark

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekOctober 29, 2020Leave a comment

I would like to officially declare 2020 the year of the question mark.  It has been the year of unanswered questions.  And even the year of very slow answers. The questions range from, “How does this virus spread?” to “Who will lead our nation into this next four years?”  The questions have also been very…

When We Don’t Know What to Say

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, Personal, WorldviewBy Don FilcekOctober 22, 2020Leave a comment

My blog is an intentional look at the world around me.  My sermons are an intentional look at God’s Word.  There is not a lot of exposition of daily life in my sermons.  Instead, on Sunday we look at what it means that God breaks into our world with communication.  He speaks and we seek…

Your Candidate’s Name Isn’t In the Bible

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, Personal, WorldviewBy Don FilcekOctober 8, 2020Leave a comment

If I had a dollar for every time I read or heard the phrase, “I just don’t know how a Christians could vote for _________” I would be able to go to Disney and maybe even take my family with me.  But at the risk of entering into a political discussion as a pastor, I…

5 Blessings in 2020

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, Personal, WorldviewBy Don FilcekOctober 1, 2020Leave a comment

I keep hearing comments and seeing memes that act like 2020 is a curse word.  And although most of those things are just meant to be jokes, I think it is clear that people are tired of everything we have faced since January 1, 2020.  But there are still good things.  And I realize that…

Don’t Let the Dream Die

Christian Living, Church, Pastors' Blog, Personal, WorldviewBy Don FilcekSeptember 24, 2020Leave a comment

There is a phrase from Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech that has resonated deeply in my soul.  As a person that grew up in a very homogenous white farming community in Michigan, I only had the thing I read to go on.  I read the speech in high school.  And this…

Sweating Out the Stress

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekSeptember 17, 2020Leave a comment

I think all of us have had a fairly common experience in the past several months.  We all certainly face our own unique mix of troubles, but one thing is common.  It has been a hard time.  There was the early stress of quarantine and learning new habits of working from home.  There has been…

Humility and Angry Politics

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, Personal, WorldviewBy Don FilcekSeptember 10, 2020Leave a comment

Fall is my favorite season except for every four years.  There are some political seasons that I wish we could just skip and go straight to winter. But this morning, God met me in a quiet moment as I was reading an obscure corner of the book of Daniel.  Daniel is offering a confession to…

Churching in the Doldrums

Christian Living, Church, Pastors' Blog, WorldviewBy Don FilcekAugust 27, 2020Leave a comment

Doldrums is a word that is used to describe a strip of ocean about 300 miles wide to the north of the equator where there is little to no wind.  Sailors in more wind dependent times knew to avoid navigating into this area of the globe.  Ships that wandered into the doldrums ran the risk…

Men: Step up This Fall

Christian Living, Church, Pastors' Blog, PersonalBy Don FilcekAugust 13, 2020Leave a comment

Dads and husbands, this blog is for you.  Wives, moms, and singles are encouraged to listen in. This is a season for men to step up!  This is not a time to “support” your wife in all of her hard work trying to figure out what SHE is going to do with your kids for…

Jesus for the Win

Christian Living, Pastors' Blog, Personal, WorldviewBy Don FilcekJuly 23, 2020Leave a comment

Jesus will win. His love will triumph over hate. His healing will triumph over the Rona. His kingdom will not be shaken. His throne will not be challenged. His Father will make his enemies His footstool. His justice will prevail. His bride will flourish for eternity. Jesus will win.
