[lead dropcap="yes"]Braving the cold has never been a requirement before in beautiful Miami, but by our standards that is exactly what it took from the teams that faithfully served as well as those attending services this Sunday. Baring down in 40-something degrees, it was officially sweater weather— for at least 48 hours.[/lead]
New Years Naive: Mouthwash
Continuing in a series of talks entitled New Years Naive, Pastor Rich invited us to take inventory on our words and to ask ourselves, "What kind of world are your words creating around you?" Our words have the power to build up or tear down— it's our choice! Pastor Rich reminds us that if we want to see change in our lives, we cannot simply renovate our minds, but we need to cleanse our mouth. It's not about getting God to agree with our words, yet it's about getting our words to agree with God.
"You cannot talk defeat and expect to have victory. You cannot talk lack and expect to have abundance. You cannot talk gossip and expect trust and acceptance."Rich Wilkerson, Jr
So many times we let our words slip out without thinking instead of carefully choosing them. But words are meant to be spoken with purpose. The words we say are really windows into our thoughts. And while we can't always stop the thoughts from entering our mind, we can stop saying the words that give life to those thoughts.
