Revitalize Your Church

Normally, I don't post on Sunday -- but I felt that I should not delay providing the six questions for personal reflection from Steve Deneff, which I mentioned in this morning's sermon. 1. Is my conscience clear? 2. Is my religion (faith) an obsession or a hobby? 3. Do the people closest to me see this holiness in my life? 4. Do I have power over sin? 5. Do I have perfect love? 6. Do I have genuine joy?

Here's an exercise I conducted with my Journaling Class last night: 1) List five vivid memories for your childhood. Which ones rise to the surface? 2) What feeling is attached to those memories? 3) Is there any connection between this and how you experience life as an adult?
