In September we are focusing on Financial Stewardship...becoming great stewards who manage, multiply, and greatly increase all that God has entrusted to us.

Revelation 3:17-18 has a passage that has always been interesting to me. Jesus tells the church of Laodicea...

You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich,

Notice he doesn't give it to us... we buy it from him. How do we buy gold refined by fire from Jesus? My first thought is that we buy it from him with the currency of faith. 

In today's communion we are asking God for wisdom and understanding of how to buy gold refined by fire from Jesus. And to help us buy it from him. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

One of the most important keys to health is rhythm. Our bodies love rhythm. How are you doing with your rhythms of connecting with God, eating healthy meals, getting your rest, and exercise. 

 I am praying for you.

Daniel
