Today church was really great the service was about what it really meant to be a christian. My husband and I got a few new books. I got The power of a Praying Wife my friend sarah ( I wrote about her a few entries ago) recommended it to me a long time ago,I finally got it. I will be sharing some prayers out of the book in my Faith Section from time to time. Daniel and I also signed up for growth groups as a couple for young marriages. I am excited to do a bible study with my husband about marriage we have been wanting to do one for a very long time. My entry for last week's Power of a Positive wife is finally up.
I wanted to share a few things that my pastor said in the service today that really stuck with me.
JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT :)
- Jesus died on the cross to change us not bless us.
- Before you meet Jesus you do what you want after you meet Jesus you do what he wants. thats being a christian
- Before you meet Jesus you do what you want and after you meet Jesus you continue to do what you want but you expect blessings. thats not being a christian
- Following Jesus starts with seeing Jesus
- Real salvation means real changes some of those changes are these
- Righting past wrongs
- New goals and values
- It starts at home ( its one thing being a christian outside the home,make sure your being one in the home. Are you being the father/mother husband/wife God intended you to be?)
- If you want to know if your being the christian god wants you to be ask your husband(or wife)
- respet and honor your husband
- The way jesus dealt with people then is how he deals with people now
- The way jesus dealt with people then is how WE should deal with people now
- Put the needs and interest of others above our own
- Seek the sinner, don't just put up with them
