From Cal May 8th, 2008 Hope
you’ve had a great week! This
weekend we’re continuing in our “Adam’s Family” Series, and are
checking out Romans 5:15-21 where the Apostle Paul writes about the
contrasts between Adam and Christ. We
see contrasts everyday of our lives, good and evil, fast and slow, clean and
not so clean. The list goes on and on. What we need to understand is that,
when we become Followers of Christ, the contrasts become more obvious and
impacting in our lives. But when we apply God’s grace to everything we say
and do the contrasts have eternal implications. Romans
5:18 says, “Here it is in a nutshell: Just as one person did it wrong and
got us in all this trouble with sin and death, another person did it right
and got us out of it. But more than just getting us out of trouble, he got
us into life!” I encourage you today to take inventory of your life and
see if you’ve taken advantage of this life. See if you’ve applied it to
yourself and the lives of others that you connect with on a daily basis.
God’s instruction for today is “Choose Life”! Come join us this weekend as we check out these contrasts that Paul writes about and bring someone with you as we continue to “Connect People to God”. |

Green Tip
Buy food in packaged paper, glass, aluminum or steel as often as you can. All these containers are readily recyclable. Avoid plastic: only 3.9 percent of all post-consumer plastic is being recycled today, and plastics as a percentage of waste is rapidly growing.
