FROM THE PASTOR...
Most people think God has some pretty good things to say about
love and forgiveness (and then there's always the “eternal life”
thing),but that He doesn't have a will for our lives. However, at the
same time we look for a direct Bible verse that will tell us “Do this, don't do
that” in order to determine whether or not we will follow God's “advice.”
How strange we human beings are.
The Bible informs us of God's will (not His advice). Here's two
Bible passages containing wisdom from the Lord: “I pray that all is
well with you and that your body is as healthy as I know your soul is!”
(3 John 1:2 (NLT)) and “Don't depend on your own wisdom. Instead respect
the Lord and refuse to do what's wrong. Then your body will be healthy, and
your bones will be strong!” (Proverbs 3:7-8). Both powerful. Both strong. And both direct.
God gives us direction for life (general directives and examples to live by) and blesses those who
follow Him. For instance, God commends our generosity to others – especially those in need – and
then He gives us examples and counter-examples of Elijah and the Widow to show God's blessing on
the generous, Ananias and Sapphira to teach what happens to the greedy, Judas to teach what
happens to those who love money more than the Lord, the story of the “Unjust Steward” to teach what
happens to forgiven people who are unforgiving to others, etc.
Today's story from the Book of Daniel begins to explain God's direction for life regarding our health.
His desire is that our physical health be a strong as our spiritual health. This story and more
Bible verses today will call us to consider our lives in five areas of personal health: food, focus,
fitness, friend and faith. We have the greatest story of God's love to tell. Our lives and our health
must reflect that story so we can both live well and tell well the message of God's love for the world
and have people believe our message..
Our mission as a church reflects God's will for our lives. We live to connect people in Roselle and
beyond in real, loving relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit, with
each other in a contagious Christian community, and with their calling of servanthood in the world. In
His love and power God reveals Himself to us – and His will is that His love and power transform us
as His people in connection with Him and others!
So here are some questions: Do you think God wants you to grow beyond who you are? Where is
your “growing edge” as a person? How are you doing with your food and fitness, your focus,
friends and faith? Is there anything God is prompting you to change in your life? How have
you noticed God transforming you?
Birthday Blessings...
