When We Work Together
by
Pastor B.J. Knefley
Individualism will destroy your family, marriage, organization, and our world. Why? Simply because everything becomes self-focused. It’s not about what’s good for us, but rather what’s good for me. It’s not about working together for a common purpose. Instead, it’s about what I want or think that I need to be happy.
Years ago, I learned that what I did for my marriage made my marriage better. To do that I needed to put what I wanted aside. It didn’t mean that my needs or wants weren’t fulfilled but rather they were fulfilled in the context of the marriage. I learned that sometimes I had to say no to myself for my marriage to be better. I learned that life wasn’t about me, it was about us.
John 3:16 says “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” If you look at this closely, you’ll quickly realize it was others focused. God sent His Son for you and me. It wasn’t what was good for God or Jesus, it was what was good for you and I. We can learn a lot from this, but will we?
We tell our children that they can be anything they want to be, but is that a good thing? Are we instilling a life that will be self-focused? Rather than seeking out God and his plan, we focus upon what we want. Is that part of our problem in this world today. When I focus on my wants, I put others aside. It’s not about what’s good for us, it’s what’s good for me. That kind of thinking and living will bring destruction to the whole.
Interestingly, sports teams have learned that there are no individual heroes win games, it still takes the team. When they learn to work together, they become a powerful force. But here’s the most important aspect of any team, it’s the question of who you’re playing for. When I remember that Christ has asked me to seek first His kingdom that sets the direction of everything I do. Think about it.
HARRISBURG – The General Assembly has approved an increase in the payment in lieu of taxes (PILT) on state lands managed by the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) and Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC), Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) announced today.
The PILT provides much-needed compensation to communities that have a high amount of state-owned land that is not subject to property taxes.
“This is great news for our region,” Causer said. “In addition to the immediate increase in the PILT rate, the bill will also adjust the rate for inflation every five years, ensuring our communities are more consistently and fairly compensated for the value of this land.”
Under the legislation, each of the three agencies would pay $9 per acre, split evenly among the county, municipality and school district in which the land is located. That’s an increase of $1.80 over the current rate. The increase will be funded through slot machine revenue.
