Sunday Night Brian talked about hungering and thirsting after righteousness and he presented some great thoughts to us. The Bible tells us that those who hunger and thirst after righteousness will be filled, but we have to search out "the righteousness" to be filled with it.
Physically, when you get hungry, we usually search for the substance that is going to fill us quickly and spiritually sometime we do the same thing. Physically, we know that McDonald's is right down the street and it's already prepared for us. Spiritually, we can do the same thing and go after what is easy and quick, but it doesn't always make it "Right" or " righteous".
We've all heard the idea, "if you shoot for nothing you'll hit it everytime", but if we shoot for something we won't be happy until we hit it". Well, it's true with our walk with the Lord.
So Todd, what's the point? Well here it is,
"Shoot for righteousness and you will not be satisfied until you hit it." It may not be easy, it may not happen quick, but it you search, truly search, for rightoueness you will find it!

It's been a few weeks
Thanks for coming to visit this blog. I think as the blog continues it will be a great resource to help each of us continue to work out our salvation like it says in Philipians 2:12.
A couple of years ago Whole In One traveled to Florida. As a resting point, we stopped at Angela's Great-Uncle's house on the way. We stayed there Saturday into Sunday and we did not have a service so we decided to go to church with them. It was the first Catholic mass that I had ever fully attended and it was definitly different then an Assembly of God church, but as we discussed the ritualistic aspects of their service, we realized that they do outwardly what we as Protestants should be doing inwardly.
Now please realize that I'm not agreeing with the theology of the Catholic church, but I do relaize that there are aspects of the church at large that we can learn, while staying true to the full gospel!

Your Input Needed
I'm working on a ministry manual for the fine arts department so that new and old members can have a clear direction as to what is involved within the fine arts department. The manual will include things like time commitments, involvement opportunities, dress code, retreats, benefits of participation, different explanations of what things are and how we do them, and expectations that participants have toward the fine arts department, as well as, what the department expects from participants.
I'm thinking of creating it in a format that asks the five basic questions: who, what, where when, why, and how. I'm trying to think of the best way to create the questions in a clear and consise way, so it doesn't have to much overlap and yet it gives teh information that people are wanting to know. You're probably wondering, "what are you wanting from us?" Well, I'm wanting to know what your ideas are. If you were going to create a manual how would you go about doing it? Anything that would benefit and give insight to the process.
I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
I hope that my desire shines through my heart, "Although I am the coordinator of this ministry, without your input and involvement, I cannot fulfill my responsibilities."
