Thoughts from the weekend

Thoughts from the weekend:

Beautiful weather.

Cool.

Leaves changing.

It's fall. 

A wonderful season of the year.

God's creation is incredible!

Had lunch on Saturday with Debbie's brother and sister-in-law (Cindy).  They are missionaries to China.  Cindy has suffered with cancer the past few years but God has really touched her! 

Good worship  yesterday.

God was meeting needs while we worshipped (we prayed for one another in worship).

In worship, there is healing.  God's meets our needs as we lift our voices in praise and worship to Him!

Last night at our life group we discussed the difference between faith and presumption (from Genesis 12 and the life of Abraham).

How can I know that it is God speaking to me?  How do I know when it is "me" speaking to me?

Here's what I know:  A challenge to walk by faith is almost always made by time spent in prayer, the counsel of godly people, and the hearing of God's voice through his Word.  Presumption would be to try to walk by our feelings.  Making decisions based on the "emotion of the moment."

Lonna made some delicious homemade egg rolls.

Debbie Johns brought an pumpkin pie (all calories taken out - of course).

Great time of prayer at the end.

I encourage everyone to be in a life group!

Please prayerfully consider turning in a three year pledge from for our "Moving to Completion by faith" building campaign.

We need "all hands on deck"!

Stone Church is God's church - yet God calls each of us to be faithful!  Faithful in ministry.  Faithful in attendance.  Faithful in giving.

Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not yet here, today is all we have.

I encourage you to enjoy today - and dwell in God's presence.

God is good all the time - but especially today.

Love you all........
