Happy New Year!

I was talking to my brother in law today. He and his wife pastor a small country church. His sermon yesterday was on "New Years Renovations."

Good renovations always start on the inside. You can't just fix something cosmetically and expect it to be solid for years to come. It's the difference between drawing up the blueprints and getting out the hammer.

In the spiritual realm it means life and peace replace sin and death. Where does this begin? If you want to have one New Years Resolution, make it to work on your mind and heart.

Have you been saved and are still struggling in your sin? This means you have not truly waged the war. The battle is in the mind and all the self-control and self-will won't change your defeatest attitude or actions.


We look to outside sources to "fix" us. To place discipline upon us. To control us. If it's easy and a quick fix it's not from God. Anything of lasting value will have to be born by repentance and a Godly mind.

How do we do this? The daily renewing of our minds? Well, one way is to fill it with Scripture. Won't you join me and several staff as we read through the Bible in one year? Click on the title bar to get started!
