THOUGHTS FROM BRAD In the past few months, several of us metin
Bible study discussing Erwin McManusbook, Uprising. I would
encourage you topick up a copy for your personal enjoyment.In one
particular chapter, he writes, How
would it change the work of the church ifour measure of
effectiveness was not howlittle sin was being done, but how
muchgood was being accomplished? Thats agreat question. You see,
you were createdfor more than just existing. You werecreated for
Gods purpose and you are touse your life for His glory; for His
good.
McManus also writes, There comes a point
in life where you are not supposed to befull of potential; youre
supposed to be fullof talent, capacity, product. Potential is
aglimpse of what could be, yet there must bea shift from where we
have potential towhere we are potent.
If you are young, and someone says, Youhave much potential, then
that is acompliment. But at what point in life, doesthat same
statement about you lose itsflair? If you get to the later years in
lifeand someone says, You have potential,now that same statement is
a sad reflectionof a life that never became what it wasmeant to be.
You are not to die withpotential! Use your life for God! You
areborn with potential, but you are called tolive a productive
life. So the question is, are
you potent? You matter to God and youhave something to offer in
this life.
Pray about that this week. Ask God tosqueeze every bit of
potential out of youand may you live a life of excellence for
theKing.
In His Service,
Brad

Last week in Children's Church, we learne
about trusting and obeying God. God aske
Abraham to sacrifice his one and only so
Isaac. Abraham obeyed God. When he was juabout to kill his son,
God stopped him. He kne
that Abraham trusted God with everythi
that he had.
We learned that this story is very similar
another story in the Bible. Jesus. God also ha
to sacrifice His one and only son.
Do we trust God with everything that we have
Are we willing to give up what we love the moin order to obey
God? It's a tough questio
and one that we must strive to improve on ea
day.

SCOTTS THOUGHTS
Psalm 93
1 The LORD is king! He is robed in majesty.Indeed, the LORD is
robed in majesty andarmed with strength. The world stands
firm and cannot be shaken.2 Your throne, O LORD, has stood from
timeimmemorial. You yourself are from theeverlasting past.
3 The floods have risen up, O LORD. The floodshave roared like
thunder; the floods havelifted their pounding waves.
4 But mightier than the violent raging of the seasmightier than
the breakers on the shore -the LORD above is mightier than
these!
5
Your royal laws cannot be changed. Yourreign, O LORD, is holy
forever and ever.
My first memory of standing at the edge of thocean was one of
amazement. I was astonisheto realize you could get in a boat and
cruise fodays and not see land. Even more astoundinwas the first
time I waded out into the surthinking I would go for a swim. When
the firswave broke over me and knocked me down
seemed seconds turned to minutes as I watossed around under the
water. The ocean is aoverwhelming force, more powerful than wordcan
explain. The psalmist here reminds us thathe ocean is nothing
compared to the one whcreated it and contains it. Before there was
aocean God was there. He is still here andeserves our adoration,
our awe and wonder. Hdeserves our worship.
