Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Worshiped with the church family at North Citrus Christian Church today.
• Today's topic the purpose of Scripture.
• It is not enough just to know facts about the Bible, one must understand the message of the Bible. 
• I fear today we have become more focused on facts and figures of scripture rather than discovering the faith that comes from seeking out the message of the Bible.
• I know we say this every year, but this has to be the hottest summer ever!
• Next week kicks off the college football season - now everyone sing with me "It's the most wonderful time of the year" 
• Classes start tomorrow at JUFL, Yes the students are back - farewell summer!
• Watching parents say good bye to their students on move in day is tough.
• We are 122 days away from Christmas!
• Today is my 400th Blog post!
• I am reading John Ortberg's book "The Me I want to Be" great book on personal discipleship. Does not focus on making other disciples, rather focuses on you becoming a disciple - remember you can't teach what you do not know!
• Ortberg's 5 counterfeit "me's" are a great way to check out how one is measuring their person growth in Christ. 
• When you are tired or frustrated or not feeling like doing what is right, please remember this section of scripture
• One of the great lessons to learn from Cancer, is your timetable is not necessarily the timetable of your cancer. Flexibility is the key! 
• Something to Chew on; one is not saved by knowing the Bible, one is saved by knowing the the One revealed in the Bible ~ from today's message.
