Worship Minute
Worship Minute: I am talking about meditation on God’s Word today and the importance of focused devotion time with the Lord! In today’s distraction-rich culture it is hard to get that uninterrupted time with God, but it is absolutely critical for the child of God to intentionally set apart this time with Him! Psalm 119 (the longest chapter in the Bible and every verse has to do with the Word and it’s importance!) is full of verses that encourage us to meditate on the Word, so if you need to be inspired to get into God’s Word daily, check it out for yourself. Here is a verse that I find helpful, “O how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long.” (Ps. 119:97). God’s Word is there for you to meditate on, so go to it worshiper of the Almighty! Have a blessed week! ~ Mark
Kentucky Mission Trip Recap
Some of our Senior High Students took a trip down south to Clay County, KY; one of the poorest counties in the US today.
Each morning we drove deep into the hollers of Manchester and built 2 decks, for some nice ladies.
Every afternoon was a bit different, either serving at a homeless shelter, or running VBS, it was a GO! GO! GO! Kind of trip.
Early every morning we did our devos and then came back together after dinner and discussed what we had read and learned.
Tough, Challenging, Impactful, Eye-opening, Rewarding, and Awesome are all words I would use to describe our trip!
Shoutout to LeaderTreks for all they did for us, and the lessons we were taught.
Consequences when out of step
I know personally, and from many testimonies I have heard, that instant gratification of our fleshly desires has led to many consequences and a lot of dysfunction in the home. From marriage to addiction, to any kind of immoral living, the consequences are real. And all because we possibly wanted something…”Now!” Whatever felt good temporarily is not consequence free. We can avoid this disobedience however if we stay in step with the Holy Spirit. The power is in us, and we should expect this victory. Trust that Jesus, who was even tempted Himself, knows how to help those being tempted by their own flesh to be disobedient. Staying in step with the Spirit brings peace and real gratification…

Marriage Minute: Speak, Your Servant Is Listening
Listening is a huge part of communication! Samuel said to God, “Speak, your servant is listening”. You have my full and undivided attention. This would be a great way to listen to your spouse. My suggestion is that when you’re talking, make sure your spouse actually heard you. How often have you had this conversation, They say, “I have no idea of what you’re talking about”, and you say, “But I told you”. Telling someone something and them actually being tuned in are two different things. If you’re talking on let’s say station 97.1 but my thoughts are tuned in to 98.3, I didn’t hear a word you said! It’s not intentional, I wasn’t tuned in. Make sure they are tuned in and you’re on the same station lol! Then listen fully to the other person. Don’t interrupt, object, defend yourself, finish the sentence, etc. Just hear them out. “Speak, your servant is listening”! Have a great weekend ~~ Bill
It’s Time: Matthew 5:4
Life is filled with difficult times, sorrows, hardships, consequences, and even physical death. And often times these circumstances can make it impossible to feel hope. But in the beatitudes, found in the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus offers incredible hope for those who come to Him in humility and in mourning. When we come in this humility, Jesus has promised us the Kingdom of Heaven and that we will be comforted. If we’ve been there, remember the promises you still have and if you are coming for the first time, embrace this truth! Indeed, for all who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, we are never without hope!
Worship Minute 9:18:19
Worship Minute: I am looking at Psalm 32 and considering how confession plays into our worship. The chapter starts by saying, “How blessed is the one whose rebellious acts are forgiven, whose sin is pardoned!” We read in 1 John 1:9 that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So, confession is the method by which we can access forgiveness, and Christ is the one in which we must go through to receive that forgiveness! Continuing in Psalm, it says that keeping silent and distant from God depletes us of our energy and makes us groan all day long (paraphrased), but when we confess our sins He forgives and we get relief. Confession is a huge part of a worshipful lifestyle, so don’t hold anything back, surrender it all to Christ who knows it already anyways. “Rejoice in the Lord and be happy, you who are godly! Shout for joy, all you who are morally upright!” Ps. 32:11. Have a blessed and worshipful week! ~ Mark
BTW – The song I was playing is Gracefully Broken by Matt Redmon and Tosha Cobbs.
1 Kings 1821
As I was reading through 1 Kings this past week, I read the story of Elijah confronting the people of Israel and the prophets of Baal. I thought about all the versions and opinions of God people make up. In confronting the opinions of the people, Elijah called on them to get their god to respond, but of course nothing happened because there is no truth or existence of any god beside the one true God found in the bible! Hoping in opinion does not save, nor is peace found. Seek the true God of the bible, Jesus assures if you seek Him, you will find Him. And we all have to respond to the gospel, no one can remain silent…

Keep It Sweet!
I (Bill McMinn) did this video thinking about how we want to view our spouses in a positive rather than negative light. I read a few verses from Song of Solomon where the people in love adored each other! The words were sweet rather than sour! It was “You’re beautiful” rather than “You’re so annoying”! They were complimentary words rather than comparison words! Obviously comparing our spouse to other people is NEVER a good idea lol!! You want a good love life? Point out the things you love, not just areas for improvement!
