Getting in Shape
Bible Reading Today: Jeremiah 18-22
O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. Jeremiah 18:6
Getting in shape can be a touchy subject-literally! It requires the delicate, yet firm touch of our God, doing a work in us! But if we are too hardened by the things of this life, too tense, too stiff, we cannot get in shape! That's one of the reasons why people stretch before working out, and for that same reason, it's ok to loosen up in God's presence! To experience this to a great degree, come visit us at church! We encourage all to open up & worship God, expressing love in praise! There is a Scripture which states that God inhabits the praise of His people (paraphrased) in Psalm 22:3. So worship is a great start to inviting God into our hearts, vulnerable & tender, ready for Him to get us in shape, shaping us into the people & saints He created us to be! And His Spirit, the Holy Ghost in us, is the best way to always have God's presence in a special way, to keep us in Spiritual shape all throughout the day!

Surviving the Peace Plummet
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. Peacefulness is the toughest muscle there is, and exercising it only makes it stronger. However, it proves to be the most difficult to keep toned & honed consistently in our lives. Peacefulness is like that one workout that you know is going to take the most time...
A Moment of Silence.
As was powerfully preached this past Wednesday, "Let there be light" were the first words spoken by God in Genesis 1:3... And He wasn't necessarily speaking about a physical manifestation... But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...
