GBC Community Update: Character is influenced by our choices

5/9/2023

0 Comments

 
Good morning.  What a difference a week makes!  I hope you’re enjoying the better weather. I’ve been enjoying watching the colors of spring explode. There is life all around us, all we need to do is look for it and enjoy God’s many blessings.
 
 
Oasis@Midweek is tomorrow
Our next Oasis@Midweek is tomorrow night.  This event is for kids JK to grade 6 who are invited to join us from 6:30pm to 8pm for an Oasis Camp themed evening of music, games, life lesson and this week is our popular drama led by our Youth Ministry team.  O@M is not just for those who went to camp but for all who would like to remember how MONUMENTAL God is and celebrate his awesomeness.
 
 
Spring Work Party
Our property team will be holding the spring work party on Saturday May 27th.  From 9am until noon there will be a variety of tasks needing to be done to prepare our church for the coming season. All are invited to come as there will be things to do for all types of abilities. Many hands make light work!
 
 
Thought for the Day:  Character is influenced and developed by our choices.
As we continue to look at how to grow in Godly character and live it out, I suspect most of you realize that the choices we make have a huge impact on our character. You’ve hopefully also realized that this is not something that happens just in church but rather in the ‘lab’ of life.  We need to CHOOSE each day how we’ll live in the reality of our world and the choices it gives.  Daniel “resolved not to defile himself” while living in captivity in Babylon and that Godly choice was an important step in formulating an unquestionable integrity in his life. Character, in turn, influences our choices. Proverbs 3 tells us: “The integrity of the upright guides them”. Character will help us weather the storms of life and keep us from sin.
Okay, ready to put this into practice? Here’s our next tip:
Fellowship! 
You can’t do this in a vacuum, and you cannot find success alone. You need others in your life; you need fellowship.  That word means a lot more than casseroles and roaster chicken at church get-togethers.  It means conversation. It means praying together. It means talking about what God is doing in your life. It means building up others who feel down. 
Okay, that makes sense, but it also means no gossiping.   Are the things we’re saying building others up or tearing them down?  So, it takes making wise choices and that means you need other Christians in your life to help you out. You need other Christians to give you encouragement and to listen to you. You need advice, too. And you need to give it when you can.  Not sure where to look? Hint, hint: the best place to start looking for some Christian friends, is, of course, church. Choose them wisely though, only the ones that look and act like they really are dedicated and really are following Jesus.  Then you can grow in character!
 
In His grip,
Pastor Chris
