Down, But Not Out

We all have those times when life can be just plain frustrating. We know what we should do, but it seems no matter how hard we try, things just won’t go our way. At Pneuma in October, we’re going to look at some of life’s toughest obstacles and see what the Bible has to say about how we can handle them. We’ll talk about things like…
Peer Pressure
Temptation
Tough Decisions
Depression
No matter who you are, you won’t want to miss this month at Pneuma…every Wednesday @ 7PM in The Cellar!
If My Dog Could Tweet
The other night Melissa and I were sitting on the couch looking at Twitter on my Blackberry. I started thinking, what if Copper had a Twitter account? His typical day might look something like this…
@copperpearson Ready 2 wake up. Wonder why these people are still asleep?
@copperpearson Just peed outside. Jonathan said I did a good job!
@copperpearson Just woke up from a 2 hour nap. Man, I needed that!
@copperpearson Just 8 some lunch. Tasted a lot like yesterday’s.
@copperpearson Just took a dump. Wonder why I don’t get a bowl filled with water like everyone else around here?!
@copperpearson I wish Jonathan and Melissa would come home from work! Miss those guys when they’re gone.
@copperpearson Just woke up from a nap.
@copperpearson Jonathan’s watching sports…again!
@copperpearson OMG! A treat!!!
@copperpearson Just 8 supper. Tasted familiar.
@copperpearson Just took another dump. Melissa’s cleaning it off the floor. lol!!
@copperpearson They say it’s bed time. G’Night peeps! Busy schedule tomorrow!
I really wonder what goes on inside that head!
What Would It Take?
What would it take…
- For God to become more than just our safety net, but our life line?
- For God to become more of who we are than what we do?
- For God not to just become our first priority, but our life?
- For the church to quit being a place where needs are met, but a people that meets the needs of the lost?
- For God to become our first instinct rather than our last resort?
- For us to quit focusing on our preconceived notions of how things SHOULD be, and start to live in God’s vision of what COULD be?
Food For Thought
