Recently I preached from 1 Samuel 5-7:14.  The challenge for us to turn whole heartedly to the Lord has continued to resonate within me.  I must decide as an individual whether or not I will allow the Lord to have His way in me.

Summer is considered playtime for many in this part of the nation as winter tends to keep us close to home and cabin fever is our shared ailment.  When summer arrives we desire to run and play. While playtime is important and needed the temptation is to marginalize church life during the summer.   We tend to connect when we can squeeze it in. However, our need for Christ centered community does not change. Our need to be anchored in the Kingdom should increase as the temptation to marginalize it speaks louder.

Today we look at another step in the process of returning to Jesus, recommitting to daily time in God's Word. Do you spend time reading God's Word each day? Each week? Once a month? Ever? If you read the Word of God far less than you would like, there are two things that I know are true: You are not alone, and you are not receiving all the Lord has for you. To know the mind of God, you must look into His Word.
