Challenging words from Proverbs this morning...
"There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers." Proverbs 6:16-19
Help me, Father, to love the things you love and to righteously hate the things that you hate - not just as I see them in others, but as I see them in ME!

Something from Heaven - Life Action Revival Ministries
Something from Heaven - Life Action Revival Ministries Having entered a new millennium, it is vital for us to take a fresh, unbiased look at what God intended for the church. Church services today in many places are like cemeteries-totally predictable, timed to the minute, devoid of any spontaneity, and with little or no sense of the Spirit's presence. On the other side of the spectrum, many more are like insane asylums with bizarre abuses going on in the name of the Spirit of God...

February Fast
I've decided that next week, Monday thru Wednesday specifically, I am planning to fast. I am inviting you to join me in fasting lunch for these three days. I plan to spend the noon hour each day in prayer at the church. Join me there if you wish, or set aside a time or place that suits you and pray with me for vision, direction and spiritual transformation for our faith family.

The Foreign Language of Suffering for Christ and the Gospel
I say foreign language because suffering for the sake of the Gospel is something we know so little of in the context of our American paradise. Watch and be challenged.

Are You Ready?
... Well, are you? I'm excited that so many of you have purposed to join me in a brief fast beginning this evening. Again, what I am doing is simple: I will enjoy dinner tonight with my family. But after that I will abstain from foods and beverage other than water until dinner tomorrow night. It's not long. It's not that involved but it's a start for us. You can do this. I know you can. I plan to take the time I would normally have spent enjoying breakfast and lunch to enjoy some time with God. I plan to immerse myself in the Word and to pray. Specifically I am going to talk with God about our church - about direction for the leadership, both the model and the specific people God has selected to lead. I am going to pray for our missional mindset as a congregation - about our particular emphasis on missions in the month of February. I'm going to seek wisdom from God about some strategy that will knit us more tightly together as a faith family and that will help us to practically and effectively engage and participate in life as a Christian. I would invite you to join me in these specific prayer initiatives. But you may have other things to get with God about. That's fantastic! Do that! Just use the time to make an investment spiritually. And as you experience the hunger physically, develop a hunger for the things of God. I'll be praying for you as well! I am anxious to hear about what you take away from this fasting experience. Please share freely. If you haven't listened to the messages from Pastor James Macdonald that I posted a while back I would encourage you to do so. You'll find them here. I love you all! God's best to each of you!

An Invitation For You......
As I think about the new year I am excited about what God has in store - for me, for my family, for my faith family here in Chetek. I hope the prospect of great things is exciting for you as well. It's no secret that I am passionate about the development of authenticity and depth in my personal walk with God and that I desire the same for our body here at Faith in Chetek. I am striving to make a bigger and better investment in my personal relationship with Christ and I am encouraging you to do the same. How about this.... How about joining me one day a month in a fast. We'll start small. Let's eat dinner the night before our fast begins and we'll plan to break our fast with dinner the following night. Essentially we will break from food for two meals (and from the snacking we do in between meals of course). As we begin to experience a hungry sensation my hope and prayer is that we can begin to develop a deeper hunger for the things of God. I would encourage you to take the time you would have spent eating physical food to feast upon the spiritual food that will energize your relationship with Christ. Spend the time in prayer for yourself spiritually, for our church, for others, etc. I will post a list of specific things relating to the church for you to consider each month if that will help. Spend some time in God's Word as well. I think this will be an enriching exercise for any who choose to participate. The first day that I am setting aside for fasting is Tuesday, January 17. It would be great if you would join me! Below is a link to a message by Pastor James MacDonald in which he addresses the practice of fasting and it's benefits. I would encourage you to listen to this message before Tuesday if you can. Feel free to post a comment and let me know your thoughts and how this is having an impact on you. I'll plan to do the same!
