Wild Week 07 has begun. It looks like 35 were saved this week. We talked about Proverbs and that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and understanding. To fear God is to acknowledge who God is. Make sure you acknowledge him with your family, friends, church. Proverbs also talks about paths that we walk. We talked about wisdom shouting, giving us an invitation to accept God's spirit and wisdom into our lives. We talked about red flags, letting us know not to go into the ocean. Don't ignore the red flags! Chapter 2 we talked about wisdom protecting our paths. Don't forget your umbrella. Try your best to allow God's word to be your umbrella to protect your mind and your heart and your walk. They say if you're going to pray for rain then you should carry an umbrella. Trust me, it's going to rain. The rains of worry, rejection, lies, past, when those things reign on you, if you've got your umbrella up, God's word in your life, you'll be protected. Chapter 3 is directing your path. Trust the Lord with all your heart. Don't try God or test God but Trust God. He'll show you the way to go. Chapter 4 is wisdom will perfect and refine your path. In Proverbs 4:20 it says, "listen to God's word because his word will penetrate deep within your heart." It will refine your love, passions, and affections. Again, let his umbrella, let his word protect you.
The Lord's supper was incredible again. I look forward to it every year. We saw some amazing things, several were saved. You can see the peace and the unity and the brokenness as we acknowledge who Jesus is and what he has done. I know many of you are going back home to maybe hell or hell situations, don't forget you have Heaven in you! 1 John 4:4: Greater than he that is in YOU than he that is in the world! Remember the most expensive thing in life is sin. It cost a high price, it cost God's son. Proverbs 8, he says, listen to wisdom, love wisdom and linger with wisdom. Finally we want to thank you for your encouraging us with the worship, cards, and prayers! Keep praying for us! Two words: Be Careful1
See you in 08 for a Wild Week!
