Simply Christian Intro

I have been trying to decide how to approach the Simply Christian Campaign in this blog...Well the journal has helped this week in that one of the Personal Reflection questions is similar to a Table Talk question-so I am going to share a little from the question, hope that this might prompt some comments and it can be like an online Table Talk discussion.

When do you feel inspired to worship God?

This may sound like I am trying to come across as "super spiritual" but it is the honest truth... When I am faithful to spend time with my S.O.A.P. journal (if you want to know what this is ask and I will explain), God is ALWAYS faithful in "speaking" to me through the Bible in this process. I get so excited as I see things He wants me to see, things that fit right into what my heart is longing to "know". In this process I feel close to God and want to truly worship Him...right then communicated in prayer and then with my life...living out the purpose He has for me.

How Wise People Build Wealth- Warren Buffet

These have been very practical messages. It is interesting how much the Bible tells us about wealth and working.

I think one of the most important parts to internalize is- Our source is God and His ways. God gives and He wants us to be generous....God gives and He wants us to be wise with what He gives...He doesn't want us to be fearful or greedy.

Simple...not easy, but Simple!

Happy New Year!

I like new beginnings...fresh starts. I wrote in my notes, on Sunday-Thank you (to God) for this message coming early in the year.

It was a simple message...simple but hard. Give 10%(at least), Save 10% (at least) and live on the rest...Don't spend what you don't have!

The thing that Pastor Dennis said that really hit the mark with me...Education about this topic is good but when it comes down to it...it's discipline and applying God's Character to our lives that will make the real difference. It reminds me of the Scripture-2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. (New Living Translation) We can choose to do things God's way and He has given His Holy Spirit to help us.

Let's start out disciplined in the new year.
