WORSHIP

"Worship is a cruciely important act of singing praises and of giving honor to our God. God desires and longs for our worship through instruments and song. But worship goes beyond singing songs of praise, worship and thanks: Doing our best, daily, to live our lives as Christ did is an act of worship: attending church faithfully is an act of worship; giving of our time, talents, gifts and money are all acts of worship. Worship brings us into the presence of God. Are you feeling happy? Shout praises to God. Are you feeling lonely, depressed, hurt, sad, betrayed, ressentful, bitter, unforgiving and angry? Put on some Christian praise and worship music, or just start singing your favorite worship song, and I guarantee your mood and attitude will improve greatly. Worship, through music, is an important part of my relationship with Jesus and part of my daily routine. Below are some of my favorite worship songs. Just hit the play button and enjoy." -Pastor Gregg

FOCUS

FOCUS: We must change our focus if we expect to get stronger and overcome sin. Often times we focus so heavily on NOT doing something that we immediately do what we were not going to do. Why? Because we are so focused on the issue, the problem, and not the solution, we can't help but give into it. "NOT' is/can be a negative.  "I'm not going to lust" rather than "I Will meditate on your Word so that I might not sin against you." Words have power. Words are Important to God! And guess what, without trying to sound new-age or have claim-it spirituality, we are what we confess. We are what we claim to be. We are what we think. If all you think about is Not doing something you're going to do it -because it is all that's on your mind. It will take practice, but say "My body is a temple of the Holy Ghost" instead of "I'm not going to have fleshly desires."  Take your focus off of the sin and onto good.
