Monday Morning Rewind #22
Well, it’s another Monday, and I’m extremely busy today. As I do every week, here’s the weekly Monday Morning Rewind post with my thoughts over the past week.
- Last week and weekend has been one continuous week. I haven’t stopped since Monday a week ago. In other words, I really need some sleep.
- God gives us the greatest gift of all: Freedom. And, too often, we trade it in for something that is worthless.
- A student (Macie) hit her first home run on Saturday. I’ve heard that she’s been close many times, but this was her first. Congrats, Macie!
- Speaking of Macie’s home run, after the game she asked Bridgett and me to sign her ball. I was thinking, “Why? It’s your ball. Enjoy it.” And she did enjoy her temporary success, but she wanted us to share it with her. How could I turn that down. I was humbled and honored yet again. Being a pastor is the greatest calling God can give someone.
- Communication is key to an organization’s effectiveness. If your people can’t communicate with one another, then
- Pride is at the center of all sin. How? Because sin is the result of putting yourself or your own needs above God. That’s pride. And pride is #1 on God’s hate list.
- Forgiveness is paramount to real Christianity. If you can’t forgive someone else, how can you expect to be forgiven?
- Yesterday’s Beyond Youth class took a turn that I wasn’t expecting. First, it was too cold to have our prayer walk. Second, I had quickly prepared a lesson on love, but was surprised when a leader brought up the idea of worship. So I came up with an impromptu lesson on worship and why it is so important. The good thing is that we have a great idea that we may be able to integrate into our Sunday morning experiences.
- I love to worship God, and when I return from my personal time of worship I want to be soaked with God’s so much so that when I touch something, it leaves a handprint.
Enjoy.
