Today in church, we had a great lesson from our Pastor, David Fleming. In our church, we talk about the process that we should go through as a Christian… “Know, Grow & Go!” You can “Know” God, but that isn’t enough. In fact, in the Bible it states that “even the demons ‘knew’ who Jesus Christ was”… but that didn’t get them anywhere, did it? Today, he focused on the “Grow” part of that. Max Lucado can be quoted as saying, ”God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus. ” This is the “Grow” part of the equation. What does it take to “Grow?” Watch this video and I’m sure that it will convict you. I was glad I was in church to hear this message!

Over the past few weeks, I have been leading our church group through a mini-series on marriage. It has been exciting to share what God has to say about marriage, why he has given it to us and what the real purpose of our mate is. Now, I know that some of you are worried that I’m going to launch into some elaborate discussion on marriage… but I’m not. My point is, that right about the time that I started teaching on marriage, we also had a special guest speaker come visit the church. This gentleman was Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, who is also a well known author of the book, “Love & Respect.” I remember thinking to myself how comical it was that this great speaker, with a great message on marriage, just happened to have this powerful lesson, as we started our series. I enjoyed his presentation so much that I am making it available for all of you married folks out there. I challenge each and every one of you that are married… watch the video and reflect on where you are in your marriage. It will probably be the best 30 minutes that you have spent in the past couple of years… at least. Enjoy… I know I did.
