The Work has Begun!

The scene above is taken from my office window.

I know you thought that this would be a statement about ministry and the future this September....but it's really about the work on our church facility. Today the scaffolding went up so the workers could begin their work on our ailing roof. We need new shingles and some other work up there so that the building will be strong and usable...many years from now. We have found here at McDermot that it is much easier to keep the water out than to have to deal with it when it works its way in. So we are putting on a new roof.

In my life right now, I find this same principle applying to my walk with God. It is much easier to keep the sin out than to try to deal with it once I let it enter my thoughts. So, today as a habit, I intentionally put on the Armour of God in order to stand firm. (Ephesians 6:10-20) It's sort of like a shield over my head or the helmet on my noggin...it protects me from the things trying to get inside my head. I have chosen today to only allow the thought of God to rule my head, and my hands.

Living by the Book...armed for Battle.

Blessings,

Pastor Brian
