Question?

Having a "New Year's Resolution" is a common practice among Americans and is usually focused on the physical self.  For example. "I am going to lose weight!" or "I am going to stop drinking caffeine!"  Instead of sharing our resolutions about the physical betterment of ourselves let share what we hope to see God do this year: in ourselves, in our church, in our families, in our communities, and in our world.  You don't have to share all of them.  I'm just trying to give you some ideas.  In other words I'm asking you to share your prayer requests for 2008 so that we can lift them up together and look forward to see God work in us and those around us.

"And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;"
Luke 11:9-11

Lost Bible

Hello everyone. I am having some difficulty in locating my bible. It is a smaller one with the Marines logo on the front and several photos/bookmarks in it. I thought I left it at the Roberts' house but it doesn't seem to be appearing there either. Could you check your things and see if perhaps you picked it up by accident and took it home. I am a little bummed because that is the bible I use daily. If you happen to come across it please let me know.

Thanks,

Ryan W.

Hey Everyone!

I figured we'd get current and add even more "Life" to our Sunday Night Life Group! Everyone in our life group is able to post, so feel free to post thoughts, prayer requests, needs, and any other stuff.

Kate and I came across a great qoute this morning in a book we just starting reading together by A.W. Tozer called "The Pursuit of God". It has to do with our desire for sanctification. 

"I want deliberately to encourage this mighty longing after God. The lack of it has brought us (the American Church) to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain."
