"I got your back" such wonderful words when we are running around playing laser tag or going paintballing, but it is truly something we need to live by. As Christians we need to be concerned for our brothers and sisters. If we see sin in their life we should talk to them about it in a loving way. I mean there is nothing better than a relationship with God and we should want nothing to create a divide between us and God. There are times we are unaware of our sins, and we see this in the example of David and Nathan. There are other times we know of our sins, but perhaps we are trying to keep them a secret. But as people who love one another, we should protect one another and go to them in love. I just hope traffic listens the first time, so i dont have to go round up her friends from the dog park....
Well we had a special guest speaker this past Saturday night, our very own Jr. High Director Matthew Bradley. He did a wonderful job of challenging us to as Christians not be stagnant. He vividly showed us how stagnant water is absolutely miserable, and in fact in the quaint town of Puerto Viejo, where we are going in Costa Rica, stagnant water is illegal. You can be fined if stagnant water is found on your property. So to keep the mosquitoes out of your life, listen to the message!
We worship a God who answers by fire, and that is so cool! James 5:17 tells us that Elijah was a man just like us and he had mighty prayers. This is the same for us, when we pray, God listens. We don't worship a God who can only hear sometimes, or we have to shout or dance to get His attention, we worship a God who is all loving and all caring.
