So, I mentioned last night that our pastor is preaching on YOLO - You only live once.
He said a few things that I'd like to point out. But mostly I'm going to list the scripture that he read through today. Because I love how he incorporates so much of God's word in what he shares. I never have to worry if I'm going to hear God's word or not when I know he's preaching. :)
Items to remember:
1. Our mission as a church is not just OUTSIDE the church. There are many hurting inside, we're to be a hospital for the sick. (Prov. 28:1)
2. Think about what it is like on the "other side of me". What it is like to be married to me, what it is like to work with me etc.
3. Stop surviving life and LIVE life.
4. Andy Stanley Quote "What gets rewarded gets repeated"
5. We have the tools from God to be healed and delivered from troubles or past wounds.
Those tools are:
- Love (1 Cor 13) keeps no record
- Forgiveness (Mark 11:22-25)
- Prayer (James 5:13-16) it is not just powerful, but EFFECTIVE
- Worship (Joshua 1:9)

I've really enjoyed the YOLO series and have to say it's the most I've ever gotten out of Proverbs before. I remember doing the proverb-a-day thing ... and even the proverbs aren't commandments series ... but this has been stitched in so well with being personally healthy and part of a healthy body that it's hitting me square on.
.. and it's officially time to change my blogger pic :-)
That is a significantly large number of reference verses. Proverbs is a very practical book.
Dash, don't change your picture, because then I'll feel like I need to change mine! :)
