Growing

This past Saturday I spent most of the day attending a seminar on The Truth Project sponsored by Focus on the Family. If you have not heard this video series is dedicated to helping believers develop a Biblical world view. I can't wait to go through the video series with Janelle and then we will launch some small group studies. Just the small amount of time that I have spent with the material is helping to reshape my thinking.

Saturday evening I attended a sportman's dinner and Rick Burgess of the Rick and Bubba show was the keynote speaker. He delivered a challenging message that reinforced the changes that the Spirit began with the events earlier in the day.

On Sunday we had a great lesson on Jeremiah that reminded me of the dangers of being lukewarm, thinking that we are religious when we are not. We followed that with worshipping with the Woodbine Family a church that feeds both the physical and spiritual needs of those who attend.

There are times in your life when you can actually see the Spirit moving you and causing you to grow. The scary part of it is waiting to see what the deceiver will do to counter this, but there is hope in knowing that God has provided an escape. What an awesome ride when you see God's hand working in your life.

In Him,

David

If you've not heard Rick's testimony from his two-year old's funeral earlier this year (yes, you read the right...) go to YouTube and search for Rick Burgess. It is powerful and inspiring.
