Monday Morning Perspective

I have to say one of my favorite things to hear is when people say that the message from Sunday was for them. Or they say how timely it was and helped them through that week with situations and circumstances they faced. That tells me it's taking affect and having an affect. That people are trying to live out what they've been taught through the message is where it's at. That's exciting and that's why those of us in ministry do what we do. It's encouraging and gives us the strength to persevere. 

Yesterday's message was what the book of James really is all about. It's about living it out. We were asked to reflect on whether we truly welcome the Word into our life. It's like a mirror that reveals adjustments that we need to make. Many do away with the Word because it reveals things that need to be changed and we don't like that. A problem with our quiet time is that we rush trough and just glance at the Word and then we forget.  We so often think that Christian maturity is how much knowledge we have when in fact character is. Robes, rites, and rituals are not the important things. Caring for people in the church and community is what's important. Love His Word. Learn His Word. Live His Word. My husband nailed it...again!!
