What's Your Reality?: May 2005

Sunday Recap

If you missed this past Sunday night... you missed a great service! Shawn Hennessy was here and spoke about eating disorders: anorexia, bulimia, & obesity.

Anorexia: Just like the eating disorder, we do the same with God. We never spend time with Him and doing the things we should and then we wonder why everything in our life is so bad!

Bulimia: We want to follow God, but we keep sinning and it's like everytime we come to church we're asking for forgiveness of the same sins over & over.

Obesity: We love God and we pray, read our bible, but we never share God's love with everyone. It's like we keep it all to our self!

If your life fits into any of these 3 categories, be willing to change. We have to have balance in our life. We need to be willing to follow after God by praying, reading the Bible, and those things, but we need to be witnessing also. God's salvation is the greatest gift we can ever receive, so why keep it to ourselves? He also challenged us with a 30 Day Challenge. Every day for 30 days we need to:

Read at least one chapter of the Bible
Pray for at least one minute
Share God's love with someone

Can you do it? Let me know how it goes for you. You can email Pastor Chris at rsm@satx.rr.com or post a comment.
