Happy New Year! Yes, Happy New Year. It is the beginning of a new church year. Next Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent. All things are new. That is especially true as we serve our loving God who is full of forgiveness. With him, not only is every Sunday a new start, but every day.
We have a big Sunday coming up at Lord of Life. We have an Every Member Breakfast where Lord of Life members can come and meet their elders and learn about the upcoming Every Member Visit in 2008. WYLL (http://www.wyll.com/) will be here to feature us as their church of the month. The Northern Illinois District (http://www.ni.lcms.org/) will be here as our mission of the month. We begin a new message series called "Return of the King." It is going to be a great weekend!
Another thing to happen this Sunday is every person in attendance this weekend will have the opportunity to receive a mp3 CD Bible. Best of all it will be free! Keep in mind that this CD will not play in most regular CD players. You will need a computer or a special mp3 capable CD player. Of course you can always transfer the mp3's to a mp3 player or iPod. It is another great opportunity to be in the Word.
This got me thinking about how we can reflect on God's Word in diverse ways. One person might reflect upon the Word by seeking to memorize it and write it upon their hearts. Another person might reflect upon the Word by blogging about what they have read and heard and experienced. Still another person might seek to capture the heart of the Word through music and song. And yet another way to reflect could be through art (check out http://www.wordsofgreatreward.com/).
God's Word will capture your heart and imagination if you allow it to. Our youth did a great job with this last week with the video they made (www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN8NaPuoqR4).
Seek to creatively express what God speaks to you through the Word and you will not only discover blessing yourself, you will bless others as well. Don't keep the Word to yourself. Live it, share it, express it!
