Good morning Church! Does 3:30 happen twice in the same day? Obviously! Headed to Costa Rica with Jamie for a couple of days to check on our projects there. We have a prayer team down there now, and are sending 5 more teams over the next 2 months. Everybody pray that the teams are safe and fruitful...souls for the Kingdom!
" But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being TRANSFORMED into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." 2 Cor. 3:18
Transformation. Being CHANGED from glory to glory. I never have understood why we resist that so much. After all, we tried life OUR way, and realized very quickly that we were failures at it on our own. So once we commit our lives to Christ, He promises to give us the transformation that we so desperately need. so let's don't resist, but embrace EVERYTHING that God wants to do in our lives.
How do we do it? Begin in Romans 12:2 : "Don't be conformed to this world, but be TRANSFORMED (there it is again!) by the renewing of your mind..." We must begin looking at life the way God sees it, through His Word! Get it into your mind and into your mouth. That's where transformation starts, and the rest is so simple after we change the way we think!
Time to board the plane!
Pastor Steve,
Thank you for always sharing your heart and insight to help us (individual and church) grow in the Lord. It means so much to me that you seek the best in others and willing to show us not just tell us. Meaning, you equip us with "how to do what God asks of us"... You take the time to show us step by step and give us guidelines to grow upon.
We will pray for your trip and those that are there, and coming after you. May God richly bless and keep you all while in Costa Rica. Safe travels and know that you are making a difference - in our lives - and so many others. What a delight to be part of LWFC. It's truly an honor to have you as our Pastor!
Kind regards,
Janel and Joshua
