The Pursuit of Reconciliation

Pastor Lovett sent me the following note, asking that it replace the Statement of Support, for the pursuit of reconciliation is underway. Let us lift up all parties involved in prayer, as requested, so that the Lord will grant it.

Father Jason,

Thank you for your continued support and prayers. I thought you’d like to know that those directly involved have begun the processes of coming to reconciliation, thanks be to God! In keeping with the Apostle’s words that, “the aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith” (1 Timothy 1:5), I think it best to direct ourselves to prayer that this endeavor be fruitful and that by His grace our Lord strengthen us all together (2 Timothy 2:1). If you think it helpful - and I think it might be so that everyone following this will know - you can post this in lieu of the statement of support.
