I am amazed at the work of God in others for others. God guides our paths in the routes He desires and requires for our own sake, for the benefit of people that come into contact with us and to give Himself glory as we walk through victorious.
I got to see some of that this week, it is so cool.
Dave Menzel rocked the house this Sunday as he shared about the cost of discipleship from Luke 14, but he also jumped head long into the build and battle strategy God has employed for each of His disciples. And if you are battling - you gotta be ready - check Eph 6 - Dave talked to us about the armor of God. I never really thought much about the "backside" but God does not give you protection for the back side...Dave told us its is because we are not to turn our backs on sin. Good word.
I got to visit with a college roommate today as well. Phil is a pastor and he was preaching at another church and I went to check on him. He did an amazing job of connecting the prodigal son story from Luke 15 with our state of connectivity with God. It is all about relationship not religion. The younger son repented and came to the Father, the older never did repent...they each squandered what the Father had for them. It was only in getting right with the Father that true peace in known.
Good Stuff!!!!
More later
