If you get serious about reading God’s Word this year, here is a very helpful and reliable web site with some practical resources: http://bible.org/get-connected. There is nothing like immersing yourself in the Great Story to change your life. We must be intentional about becoming like Christ; it simply won’t happen otherwise.

We have one more Sunday on our holiday schedule (one service @ 10:30).

Continue to pray about how God wants Fellowship Church to connect with our community. Pray that we will be wise and courageous in following him.

A thought about intimacy with the Lord from Oswald Chambers:

When once we get intimate with Jesus we are never lonely, we never need sympathy, we can pour out all the time without being pathetic. The saint who is intimate with Jesus will never leave impressions of himself, but only the impression that Jesus is having unhindered way, because the last abyss of his nature has been satisfied by Him. The only impression left by such a life is that of the strong calm sanity that Our Lord gives to those who are intimate with Him.

“Strong calm sanity” – sounds good to me. May God’s peace reign in your heart this cold and beautiful day.
