Hey Everyone!
I have been learning so much this year -- The Year of Aggressive Faith! Have you? I would love to hear your stories! Write them on the wall of the Facebook Page and join the conversation!
This week and last, God has been speaking to me about his precious Word. I found out last week (as stated in my previous blog) that the Word of God is refreshing! Where I had no vision, it gave me a path forward and then some! Where I saw lack, it helped me see plenty! Where I had no energy, I was energized! Where I had fear and doubt, it gave me excitement and strength! Just studying the Word of God, listening to the Word of God, and thinking about the Word of God did that! We can't be aggressive and strong and energized all the time...but God's Word can help us revitalize and strengthen ourselves!
The Bible isn't just a book. It's not just words on a page. It is ALIVE! It's active. It's powerful. Don't short-change yourself by NOT reading it!

Hebrews 4:12 says, "For the Word is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires."
The Bible isn't just a book. It's not just words on a page. It is ALIVE! It's active. It's powerful. Don't short-change yourself by NOT reading it!
John 6:63 says, "The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life."
Pastor Bob Landis spoke in our staff chapel this morning about God's Word. He says there are 3 ways that we connect with God: prayer, worship, and the Word. God speaks to us through His Word everyday! He uses it to teach us, make us realize the wrong in our lives, and helps us to do what is right, as we can see in 2 Timothy 3:16-17:
"All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do."
Learn to love the Word of God. It doesn't take much, I promise! You'll start seeing results in your life quickly!
