Sunday Night Refections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Day...

• Doubly blessed today, attended worship at FCC Kissimmee this morning then spoke at Winter Haven CC for their Faith Promise tonight. 
• Today's message was spot on regarding how to handle conflict in the local church, every church leader should get a copy of Jim's message this morning.So much pain and frustration could be avoided if they would simply follow God's principles from Acts 15.
• Jim's illustration regarding Titus as a new convert was a powerful illustration of the importance of handling conflict correctly.
• Tonight's message focused on missions; the need and the alternative to missions. What a unique perspective taken from the prophet Jonah.
• Healthy churches are mission minded churches.
• Missions does not always mean you are taking the gospel overseas, but missions is taking the gospel to someone!
• I was able to travel with some of the students from JUFL today - great bunch of students, our future is bright.
• A new office allows for a fresh start, spent the weekend going through some old files - why do we hold on to so much meaningless stuff?
• Well the Gators did not lose this weekend!
• I will be so glad to see the election process come to an end next week - according to all of the negative commercials if either party gets in we will either have a zombie apocalypse or life as we know it it will be over - We desperately need leaders!
• Speaking of Leaders; JUFL is hosting the Healthy Elder conference on the campus this Saturday, November 1 - remember EVERYTHING rises and falls on leadership.
• Panara Bread makes one good cinnamon roll.
• Something to Chew on; We must arrange life so sin no longer looks good to us. ~ John Ortberg, The Life You Always Wanted.
