Monday Morning Perspective

Well it's not monday morning, it's afternoon but the morning and part of the afternoon was spent at North Greenville University with my man.  Eddie spoke at chapel and I know I'm his wife but he totally killed it!!! What a joy to be there and see some students we know and love, meet some that we know their parents and family and a few so dear to our hearts we can hardly bear it.  To be able to have lunch with ministry friends and gain much wisdom and insight from some was just an added blessing.  God is so good.  I find myself saying over and over again but it's so true, He is IMMEASUREABLY MORE in every way!!!  We are both so thankful to be so close to this university that is truly winning students and making a difference for the kingdom one student at a time!!
Our service yesterday was off the charts!!  The music, again I know I say it over and over again, was beyond amazing and the message was powerful and anointed.  It feels amazing to be serving here with this team and to feel as though God has provided the whole package!!
I'm loving our Body Building series.  Yesterday we dissected Ephesians 4:17-24.  Eddie stressed how God doesn't just clean us up.  He doesn't just clean our hearts.  He creates a new you.  He creates a new heart.  The question we always ask of others and ourselves then is, why can't I act like the believer I claim to be?  We can't be perfect but we can be transformed and we can begin to live more like Jesus which should be our goal.  Most of it revolves around our thinking.  Allowing Him to transform our mind so that we no longer have faulty thinking is necessary in this process.  We need to recognize that apart from Christ we are all corrupted.  Deceitful desires give promises that they can never produce.
The danger...there comes a time that God will turn us over to our old ways if we insist  on staying there.
The challenge...Behave like we believe.  Surrender to Him, not just our actions but our thoughts and words as well.
This one is worth catching online if you missed it.
