I am VERY excited to fly to St. Louis today. My wife and kids have been gone for 2 weeks and I’ll reunite with them tonight. I also get to see all my dads side of the family. Gonna be a BLAST hangin’ in St. Louis with the crazy Maness family. White Castle is in my future. Couple of Cardinals games. Fireworks under the Arch. Gonna be a GREAT week. Here are my Ruminations on today.
— 10 people stood up and confessed Jesus as their Savior today. WOO HOO. So awesome!
— Third service we had one young lady, a first time guest, who stood up ALL by herself and confessed Jesus as Lord. No one else stood that service. She was beaming after church. LOVE IT!
— If only for the one!
— WOW, first service was sparse. Ended up being a good turnout today. 2nd service was VERY full. Summer attendance is upon us.
— Today’s topic: God is generous.
Here are some things I said today concerning God’s generosity:
— When we say “generous” in concerns to God, the furthest thing from His mind is money, possessions, status or health.
— It is freedom from sin, not financial gain that God is most concerned with.
— It is victory and not valuables that God ultimately desires for us.
— God wants to do a work IN us before He ever wants to do a work FOR us.
— Sang a GREAT song written in 1225 today. NO, not AT 12:25 but IN 1225…the year. All Creatures Of Our God And King. AWESOME hymn and the band rocked it out today.
— I love coconut cake. Talked about that today! lol
— Ok, that’s all I got. I’m tired and I can’t wait to go see my family. Plane flies out tonight at 9:30 PM.
— I’ll see you all on the other side.
Following Christ,
Jeff
