Who Wants to be a Bible Superstar?

Well, reViVe service began a mere three weeks ago now after tonight and God is continually building our church's interest. The first two weeks there were 32 each night...tonight there were 38!! Tonight we played Bible Trivia and had lots of fun...you see your host below...."Pastor Chazzle" :)

God will continue to move and bless the excitement His followers show Him in fellowship and discipleship....won't you come join the fun?? :)

What are others painting about you?

Ever felt as if your life is already pre-destined? That somewhere in the clouds there is someone painting your life's picture? Well, if you are a Christian you already know the answer to that, but if you are not....you might be pondering more as you read this. Depending on your family upbringing, your life's "picture" can come out looking beautiful, bright, and full of life within its borders. Others, hold a shade of more darker, gloomier and lifeless colors; reflecting the foundation of sin played out by those you love.

Family is tough. The slighest "malfunction in the junction" can cause relational streaks in your portrait. Streaks that even the best painters cannot fix back to its original purpose. I experience that same style of streaks even today as a pastor for my family holds a section of my portrait with darker colors. Most believers in Christ have a desire to be loved and accepted, thus a reasoning for their conversion and life changing moments.

"But that's no life for you. You learned Christ! My assumption is that you have paid careful attention to him, been well instructed in the truth precisely as we have it in Jesus. Since, then, we do not have the excuse of ignorance, everything—and I do mean everything—connected with that old way of life has to go. It's rotten through and through. Get rid of it! And then take on an entirely new way of life—a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you. What this adds up to, then, is this: no more lies, no more pretense. Tell your neighbor the truth. In Christ's body we're all connected to each other, after all. When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself. Go ahead and be angry. You do well to be angry—but don't use your anger as fuel for revenge. And don't stay angry. Don't go to bed angry. Don't give the Devil that kind of foothold in your life."

Ephesians 4:20-27 (The Message)

If you allow someone else, other than your Heavenly Father influence or control your life your painting of life will not look like the masterpiece that was intended for you. Take the brush, submit it to the Lord and let Him paint your way to Heaven's glorious gallery where all your previous streaks are covered by the Master's seal.
