Or Is It?

Dear Church,

Blah, blah, talkie, talkie; just another newsletter article.  Right?  Or is it?

Nope.  It’s spiritual.

Have you checked your Facebook yet?  Wasn’t that cat the cutest?

Nope.  It’s spiritual.

Traffic wasn’t too bad.  Wasn’t that amazing?

Nope.  It’s spiritual.

Did you watch the Texans game?

Spiritual.

Oh man, I forgot to pick up light bulbs.

Spiritual.

Weather…

Spiritual.

What about…?

Spiritual.

This is spiritual.  Seriously.  Right now God is present with you even as you read this.  And he is with those who gave up reading after the first couple lines.  The question is, are we aware of his presence?  And if we are aware of him are we submitting to the leading of God through is Holy Spirit?  Which means the real question is, are we seeing the fruit of God’s Holy Spirit in our lives?

Bored of this yet?  That’s spiritual too.

If you aren’t seeing the fruit it might be because of a lack of submitting yourself to God, and you may not be submitting yourself to God because you aren’t aware that he is everywhere you are, and you may not be aware because life can be pretty distracting.

You feel like just closing this email and moving on with life.  That’s right, it’s spiritual.

So how will you focus yourself on God through his word, worship, prayer, service, etc. in order to grow in awareness, submission and fruit?  You can do this!  We can do this together!  God’s Holy Spirit can do this inside of us!  This is a spiritual moment.  Let’s submit our will to him.

 

In Him,

Pastor Tim.
