Your Price: $9.75 ISBN: 9781934278109 We connect to a lot things these days… We connect to the internet and get online. We connect to printers, fax machines, scanners and video games. We connect to an antenna, a cable box or a satellite dish. We connect by way of cell phones. We connect with friends, with teachers, with the people at our church and in our neighborhood. We connect with God, and when we do… We connect with God’s Word, We connect with Jesus Christ. We connect with the church and the mission God has given the church to love and serve the world. And so we connect with the world and the people of the world in love and service. Sometimes our connections are slow or static-filled, and we need to make adjustments or repairs. Sometimes our connection with God is slow and static-filled, too, and we need to upgrade and make adjustments in our relationship with God. The days before, during and after a mission trip can be a great time to take a closer look at our lives and relationships – to reconnect with the important things of life – family, faith, church and God. Ephesians 4:22-25 will be a key scripture passage in this journal. Read it slowly, then read it again, over and over again, until you begin to hear God’s message to you for the trip that soon will happen: 22 Since, then, we do not have the excuse of ignorance, everything - and I do mean everything - connected with that old way of life has to go. It's rotten through and through. Get rid of it! And then take on an entirely new way of life - a God-fashioned life, 23 a life renewed from the inside 24 and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you. 25 What this adds up to, then, is this: no more lies, no more pretense. Tell your neighbor the truth. In Christ's body we're all connected to each other, after all. When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself. (The Message) Here is my hope and prayer for you in the days ahead: Get Connected!
