This weekend was simply yet another weekend in which I sensed God working powerfully in and through @mtnlakechurch. Here are a few reflex from this weekend that made it special.
- Good $ense Workshop this weekend. Eric, John, and I all taught sessions at this one. We helped people! Loved it!
- Kicked off our Marriage Mentoring Ministry with Marriage Mentor Training. Can't wait to see what God does through this ministry!
- Great to have Micah Massey leading for us once again. Micah, you are VERY GIFTED Worship Leader!
- We baptized again. The life change stories were evident and powerful. We are reaching so men and women right now who have away from God and He has used our church to reclaim them! Praise God!
- Continued our "Parental Advisory" Series. I believe this series has so much wisdom from God's perspective on how we should parent our children!
- "Discipline is simply correction driven by love."
- Correction requires Clear lines. Clear lines of blessing. Clear lines of consequences. (see Deut. 30:15-19).
- I gave very practical examples of how the Lovejoy family seeks to work all this out. Had tons of people tell me they were going to "steal" some of our ideas! Go right ahead!
- "I know too many parents who evidently don't know how to count to three."
- "Make no mistake: Every time we threaten our kids, they're asking one question: 'Will they really follow through on that?'"
- "Our kids don;t need another buddy. They need shepherds who will love them enough to lead them and correct them when they wander off the path!"
- "Anger should never be the emotion that drives us to discipline. Love should be."
- I loved being able to talk about Grace and the Gospel in a message on PARENTING. Jesus is relevant to EVERYTHING. That's why its GOOD NEWS!
- I felt God especially speaking to me and giving me wisdom with Sunday's message. I feel like He spoke to me and through me!
- Another awesome day @mtnlakechurch.
