Monday Morning Perspective

We wrapped our series yesterday Protect this House with looking at our work life. I love how Eddie pointed out that this message fits with this series because of how our work affects our home in so many ways. It's almost impossible to "leave it at the office". It's such a huge part of our life and most definitely affects our home life. 
I love Eddie's statement that the biggest decision we ever make is whether we receive or reject Jesus because it determines our eternal destiny. Another big decision is marriage because it affects our future on earth. Another big decision is our occupation because it too affects our future and earthly life. 
My favorite part was when he talked about pleasing people and God being our ultimate boss. He used a great illustration having to do with surveillance cameras. I loved that part because I couldn't help but think that God is our ultimate surveillance camera as well. He sees everything. Nothing is done without his knowledge. It's never too dark that He can't see and we are never sneaky enough to get anything by Him. He hears every "private" conversation. He sees every goof off moment. 
Eddie closed by pointing out that there are no favorites with God. It doesn't matter whether we claim the corner office  or clean it. It doesn't matter whether we own the restaurant or cook the food. The ground at the cross is level!! 
This series was a grand slam!! So thankful for God using my man every week to bring the Word in a way we can all understand and relate to. 
Our worship music was a grand slam as well.  I love that all age groups love it and both services represent all generations. That's RARE especially in a contemporary service!! Every week I hear from people in their 20s to their 90s who tell me how excited they are to be a part of fairview. That's obvious by the number of visitors we are having! People are coming from spartanburg to greenville and all the towns in between!! Thank you for continuing to invite so that others can be a part of all that God is doing here. We don't want anyone to miss out! Let's take the upstate together for Jesus!!  Love you fairview!!
