Pastor’s Pen

If I am going to live in spiritual victory, I am going to have to make some decisions about how I approach my life.

Am I where I want to be spiritually? What will it take for me to take some next steps in my walk with God, steps of spiritual maturity?

Is what I am doing working for me, or do I need to step into some new victory?  After all, if I do what I’ve always done I will always get what I’ve always got.

I want to talk to you about a biblical word we don’t use much anymore. It is the word “Abide”. 1 John 2:24-25 NKJV says, “Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.”

To abide means to stay present, not just physically but mentally and spiritually.  Have you ever been somewhere physically, but you weren’t present in the moment? When you can’t put your cell phone down or you are preoccupied with all the things you have to do will hinder you from abiding.

We want the Lord to be present with us in our relationship…what about us being present with the Lord. We tend to think that this relationship as what we need from God….but God desires fellowship with you……Like every relationship, your relationship with God must work both ways.

Excited to worship with you this weekend.
