Peat and Repeat. . .


A big thank you to Shaun and his message on Sunday, great job! Shaun warned that good things in life can turn us negatively toward apathy, negatively toward legalism, or positively toward consistency and genuine faith. From communion time, to the Sunday morning message we have a choice on how we are going to do those things we always do, either with faith and genuineness, or with apathy or legalism.

This can all be of course translated into our everyday lives. We are all vulnerable to a stagnate faith and relationship with Jesus. To prove it, I can admit that on occasion in all my relationships, I have had dry times. Consciously I have to focus on my relationship with my wife and children, with my friends and with my parents. None of those relationships just “happen”, they take effort.

Spend some time this next week taking a long look at your relationship with Jesus. Today we may be well connected with our Savior but remember back to those dry days and what it took to bring you out of that lull. If you are in dry times right now, take some time to work on your relationship and rekindle that flame. Spend a little extra time this week in prayer and your readings; take a walk in nature thanking God for His creation.
