Monday Morning Perspective

Well this will be short and sweet.  It's move in day at SMC for John so while he's getting a few last minute things done I thought I would jump on here.  The message was way too good yesterday to not make a few statements about it.
We continued in Ephesians with our series Identity Crisis, You are Powerful.  We looked at the blessing and benefit of having the Holy Spirit power within our lives and the challenge to not allow it to be dormant.  It's appropriated through prayer and we looked at Paul's prayer and how it was "others" focused.  Paul prayed for church health, loyalty to Christ and love for others.  He prayed that we would know Christ better, which is possible as the Holy Spirit guides us.  And he prayed that we would know His power.
My favorite statements Eddie made:
Hopefully Sunday morning will nourish you, but if this is all you get, you will be malnourished.  It's a daily thing with Him.
We are obsessed with what we already have.  We want the Holy Spirit's power in our life.  It's already there but we have to appropriate it.
The church isn't a place we go it's a people. It's not a building, it's a body.
Ok, time to make our way on this rainy, cloudy day up the road to do a dorm move-in.  I have to say the weather definitely fits my mood.
