Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Jim preached on the topic of marriage this morning at FCC Kissimmee, did a great job.
• What I really appreciated about the message was the fact Jim did not focus on our past marriage mistakes and miscues rather he challenged us to begin afresh today.
• 1 Peter 3:7 is an interesting passage as it relates a man's prayer life to how he treats his wife.
• Four items from the book of Genesis regarding the first marriage in the Bible worth noting,

1. God saw the need for marriage.
2. God prepared both partners for marriage.
3. God sanctified the first marriage.
4. God blessed the first marriage.

• I am going to miss worshiping with the FCC Kissimmee family as I am preaching for the next 5 weeks in churches in Central and North Florida. 
• FCC Kissimmee raised over $2,300 today for a mission trip to Haiti. What a generous church!
• As I travel around the state of Florida, I am amazed how churches are trying to introduce people to Christ. Some are doing it quietly and no one knows about their efforts, yet God knows our works and His blessings are evident.
• Spent some time with a preacher this past week talking about the role of repentance as it relates to God's blessings. I wonder if we are missing this vital ingredient as it relates to church growth?
• Something to Chew on; Nothing can happen through you until it happens to you, and you can only communicate what you’re in the process of rediscovering. –Lloyd John Ogilvie
