The Election

We wake up this morning with a new president elect. Like many Christians across this nation and certainly here at Real Life Family Center I have mixed emotions. I am sad to see our nation continue a trend of wandering so far away from the original design of our nation's founders and so far away from the heritage of faith that our nation was built upon. On the other hand I am hopeful. My hope and prayer is that this will mobilize Christ-followers everywhere to pray more passionately, serve more effectively and give more generously. The fact of the matter is that the government, no matter how led, was never designed to meet the most important needs of the human soul. Only God Himself can do that and THAT is the message of the church. As long as the church in any nation is vibrant, alive and passionately pursuing its mission in its context there is hope. Remember to pray for our new leaders at every level. Whether you voted for them or not, believe in them or not, the Bible urges us to pray for our leaders. 
Today is a GREAT DAY to demonstrate to someone else the hope and joy that God gives us through Christ.

Spirituality Revealed

We are halfway through this new series and I am getting so many good comments on it. Many people getting new clarification and understanding at what a real, spiritual Christian life entails. We have, so far, discussed the basic fundamentals of spirituality and then last week, the Fruit of that connection with God. I hope you are being "fruitful" in your life with Christ. If not, check your connection to Him and the environment you are planted in. You are meant to live a great life for God. Have a great day!!!
