Hi gang,
It was great to see everyone sharing their achievement work within their squads last night and I'm encouraged by the progress you are making. The potatoe cannon was pretty cool too! We talked in Council Ring last night about the spiritual fuel in our lives. Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians uses an analogy of food to illustrate our progress toward maturity in our faith in Christ. Milk for babes and solid food for the more mature. When we examine our lives and relationship with our Lord, can it be said that we've remained babes in many ways? The Holy Spirit may be calling you to look deeper at the truths of scripture and to reform your thinking which may have become stagnant. Wrestling with the deep questions in our hearts can bring about new levels of maturity as we seek the truth. The Lord is faithful and will honor those who seek Him (see John 16:4-15). Here are some questions to wrestle with. They all have "Sunday School" answers that you may have heard since you were young but those times have passed and I believe we are being called to something greater. What does the Bible say about;
Who is God? What is my relationship to Him? Do I cultivate that relationship? Does He pursue me? Do I expect Him to make all the moves? Am I a sinner? What is the depth of my sin? Is it really that bad? Who cares, or why should I care, or what makes me care? Do I really live as though I believe? Is there joy in my salvation? Does it influence my life?
As always, it's great being with you guys. If you have other questions you're wrestling with, I'd be happy to discuss them with you.
Blessings,
Capt. Hayden
