FRUIT
GALATIANS 5:22a
But the fruit of the Spirit is...Patience


I will beginning a new series soon -
FALL FOR JESUS - be in prayer for this series!
Thanks!

Today's verse talks about fruit - God expects His children to produce good fruit - and He has the right to inspect the fruit we produce because after all He created us for good works! Today I want to look at one aspect of the Holy Fruit we are to produce - today's focus is patience - I guess you have heard the joke about never asking for patiences because GOD will allow some things to come into your life to show you if you are patient or not! :-) When we accept CHRIST as our Lord and Savior - we get all of HIS SPIRIT - and with HIS MIGHTY SPIRIT - we get all the things that will help us produce the righteous fruit HE is looking for - this included patience! Yeah I am the first to admit at times I don't use what I got! I get in a rush and get to the point of not relying on GOD and just wanting to be some where very quickly - I have all the patience I need in CHRIST but must choose to live in it! JESUS wants our fruit to bring HIS FATHER GLORY! God made us to bring HIMSELF glory - not that HE needs us - HE wants us! Allow to GOD to give you all that is HIS! HE has offered it to us all - we just got to accept HIM and HIS word and allow HIS SPIRIT to live in and through us!

With God's Spirit living in us - we cannot help but produce good fruit - fruit that brings God praise!

More Then Words
1st JOHN 3:18
Let us not love in word or speech
but in deed and in truth!

Often times we can say a great many things - we can proclaim the truth - we can praise GOD - we can love others with our mouths - but at the end of the day - do we do more?
Do we put action to our words? Or are our words empty! Jesus calls us to love others with more then words - it's easy to bless someone by saying something good to them - but putting action to those words is far better - many times I have seen the poor and the needy come to me with a need - I have to admit there have been times I have turned them down - not because I didn't have the money but because I didn't want to be bothered - I admit it - and I know it was wrong - I did bless them with words but not with action - now this is not to say this should be a legalisic thing - there will be times when the only thing we can do is speak the words of JESUS to someone in need - but again there will be times when we are able to do more then speak words - those are the times we need action behind our words - believe it or not the world around us is checking us out - when we proclaim we know JESUS they want to see what it's all about - they want to see a difference between us and the world - they also check out our words and our actions checking to see if they match - there have been times I did more then speak words and it was such a blessing - We need more then words to love like JESUS! How is your life compare to your words? Think about that today!

Learning to speak with my actions!

WORD TO THE WISE:
WE LOOK MOST LIKE JESUS WHEN
OUR WORDS AND ACTIONS MATCH!

Fathers

Psalm 127:4-5

Children born to a young man are like sharp arrows to defend him. Happy is the man who has his qiver full of them.

It takes a special kind of man to be a Father - anyone who is able can father a child - but not everyone can be a Father -
But those who are Fathers by this diffintion are truly blessed! Being a father is more then just having a child - it takes commitment - it takes a life-long love - it take a lot of faith and it take mentoring - many before you have had children and they can tell you a thing or two about it - I want to have children - but that may not be God's plan for me - I love this verse about how children can be a weapon to protect the Father - never thought of it that way - what makes a Father? A Father is someone who loves with all he has- a father is one who puts his needs behind those of others - a Father is one to do without while his children do with - it's about giving your all for the sake of these children - even Sunday school teachers play a roll - I should know - I got to attend a birthday party for my best buddy - Micah - he is 8 years old soon to be 9 - in any rate I have gotten to become really close to this young man - it's been a blessing - I can begin to see a little about what it means to be Father in that - being a Father means that you do what you have to do for your family - for your children - you can have many children but without JESUS in the center it won't make a world of difference -
Being a Father is a tough job but it's very rewarding - maybe you are about to become a Dad for the first time -maybe you are worried about what kind of exampl you will set with your children -good - that's the way to be - we must show them our Love and not just tell them we love them - we must show it - a Father is one who not only speaks love but shows it!
To the Fathers out there - be blessed - what you have is a blessing - children are a blessing from God! Love them like that! God bless you Fathers!

GOD is our FATHER - the FATHER of the fatherless!

Children of the KING

HOSEA 1:10
You are the sons of the living GOD!

Sometimes it's easy to forget who we are - more important than that is Whos we are! We often forget in our day to day lives that we are children of the King! We are royality in HIM!
He has given us preicous promises - He said He is buidling each of us a manison in heaven! He has given us HIS grace and HIS SON- withholding nothing from us- Remember the story of the prodeigal son? The Father (GOD) was waiting for His son's return - the same thing goes for us - many of us may feel very far from God - maybe you have gone down a road you didn't mean to go down - maybe you are far from your Father GOD - maybe you feel there is no way back!I have good news for you today - turn around - walk no run to your Father and you will see a GOD who wants to embrace you - He does not want to harm you - HE loves you like no one else - whereever you are - just turn around and run back to HIM! Today you can be restored with your Father - today your life can change - there is no shame in JESUS - He does not want to condemn you - He loves you - believe or not - He loves you more then anything else in all creation - God made it all - but we are special - He made us diffrent then anything else- only we can have a personal realtionship with - nothing else is all creation can - today you can be a child of the King - just turn from your sin and run to GOD - He is waiting for you!

May you be captured by GOD's Amazing Grace!

Now One

Ephesians 5:28
For since a man and his wife are now one, a man is really doing himself a favor and loving himself when he loves his wife!

Marriage is God's institution - HE created it to form the family and to GOD once a man and woman are married they are now one - physically - mentally - spiritual - they are one - and GOD says let no one separate them! Why then do Christ followers have the same divorce rate as the lost world around us? this should not be so - we should be the example -
and I understand what it's like to lose that bond - how that once it's over it tares two people apart who are ONE - this should not be so - many marriages right now are in serious trouble - temptations abound - men not loving their wives like Christ loved the church and wives not willing to submit to their husbands - you have two different people become one - that's tough - we are not the same , men and women - we look at life in a totally different way - God made us the way HE did for HIS purpose - God's plan for marriage works - the worlds does not - now after salvation we are still human and I know now there were many things I lacked in my marriage that I had no idea about at the time - I have learned so much through the trial of divorce - and there is life after divorce as well - I never thought it would happen to me - but it did - and I am now here to help those who struggle as well - it has been the single hardest thing to ever happen to me - my ex wife is now walking a road that is away from God and that breaks my heart - please pray for her - thank you - God has a plan for marriage and it's the best plan - God never intended for a man and women to get married and then divorce that is not HIS plan at all - with that however let me say that if you are in an abusive marriage - you should get away from your mate ASAP and even separation in such a case is ok with GOD - what i have heard some say that you should stay with such a person - I don't think God expects anyone too - He knows each circumstance - the bottom line is GOD has made those who marry one - and this oneness makes for a good marriage - the main problem is after a couple of years - the feelings seem to get less and less - all those fun times you had during the courting and dating start to lesson - you have gotten the girl - and the girl now has a husband - now what!?

GOD HAS CALLED THOSE WHO ARE MARRIED TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS CHRIST LOVES HIS PEOPLE!

MARRIAGE IS IN TROUBLE - take a moment and pray for those you know who are married!

Look To Jesus

HEBREWS 12:2
Let us fix our eyes on JESUS!

The WORD of GOD tells us to fix our eyes on JESUS!
We must look to HIM for everything - remember Peter on the lake? As long as he kept his eyes fixed on JESUS he was staying on the water - but one glance to the left or to the right and Peter began to sink - he cries out for JESUS to save HIM and HE does - this is a message for all of us who claim to know CHRIST - when we are first saved our eyes never seem to leave HIM but it seems the longer we walk with HIM to easier it is to try and walk the water on our own - we cannot do it apart from JESUS and HE has never asked us to - HE has told us in HIS word HE would never leave us or forsake us - He said He would meet our needs - He said in HIM we will have like and abundant life at that! Where we focus our eyes determines the direction our lives are gonna take - focus on self and you will become selfish - focus on others and GOD will use you for HIS purpose - focus on GOD and other - you fulfill the law! Our focus must be solely on JESUS - I know this is hard for there many other things for eyes to gaze on - not that those things are wrong in and of themselves - but what is wrong when they become our MAIN focus - if anything takes the place of JESUS in our lives -it's nothing more then an idol - I have had to learn the hard way that I have idols in my life but praise GOD, Jesus is losing my grip on them - I have gone though a season of heartbreak - a season of trying to find my path through this life - I have questioned my faith - I have wondered why GOD allowed so much pain in my life -the simple answer is because He loves me - because HE knows best - I had made some choices that were not the best ones I am learning now - I have learned so much during this time of learning - the best thing I learned is JESUS is faithful no matter what - I tried to run from HIM but as a Shepherd does with his sheep - He scooped me up and put me on level ground - where my eyes can now see HIM more clearly - where are your eyes looking - what are you viewing? Are you seeing JESUS through the eyes of faith or the eyes of doubt? Keep your eyes fixed on the SON! And you will shine!
Shine JESUS shine in me!.......Daniel

WORD TO THE WISE:
WHEN YOU KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS - YOU SEE CLEARLY

Pray Like Breathing

1st Thessalonians 5:17
Pray without ceasing!

I was listening to a song as I found today's verse - the song was called Pray like Breathing - the singer made a good point that our prayer life should be as natural as breathing is - we should come to a place where we don't even have to think about praying - it's that we just do it - no matter what - we have a quiet time with God every day - not in a legalisic way - but in the way of love - we are to pray like breathing! We are to give our all to GOD when we go to our knees - we never stand taller with GOD then when we bow on our knees before the King of King - I read a devotional that talked about dwelling in the shaow of JESUS all the time - spending our lives in constant communcation with GOD through JESUS!
We are called to the Throne Room but how often to we actually go there -sometimes we get busy with life -busy with trying to please people all the while leaving God out of the equation called our lives - we must give GOD praise in our prayers - we must lift up the name of JESUS and pray beliving that GOD does answer prayer - He is still on HIS thorne and has never moved not even once - HE is faith so go to HIM in prayer - go to your prayer closet and seek out GOD not for attention from others but to have a personal and intimate encounter with GOD! Pray like breathing!
Yours in Prayer.......Daniel

Love Is
1st Corinthians 13:5a
Love does not demand it's own way.
It is not irritable or touchy.

There is a popular comic in most newspapers - it's called Love Is - in it there are little snippets of love - a boy and girl share love with each other and each day a new Love Is appears - What does GOD say about love? He says that love does not demand it's own way - how many times have we demanded someone form someone? Love is not irritable or touchy - boy -how many times have we gotten very upset with those we love - love is not easy - but it's the best - often the people we love we often don't like - and God knew that would be how love would be - how is your love? Have you been loving today? or is today one of those days you wanted to just stay in bed and let the world go by!? In any case real biblical love is love that always brings glory to God and always seeks the best for the other person - it's about putting their needs ahead of your own - when this happens - love works well - anything less is not really love - love does not cause any harm to another person - love is what lead GOD to send HIS Son and it should be love that motivates us to do what GOD calls us to do - Love is patient and kind - but often in our course of life we can become any thing but patient and kind - when we have a bad day - it's hard to love - but love is what we must do - we must love others and GOD - and we will fulfill the whole law - believe me you cannot love others apart from God's love - His love motivates us to even love those who wish us harm - let's die to self and live for GOD!
Love is the most amazing thing - but can also but one of the toughest things to do - but do it anyway! Love is amazing! Love is Great - Love is wonderful -
Love you all in JESUS!Daniel

Happy?

PSALM 144:15
Happy is that people whose God is the Lord!


Are you happy? Can you really say that you are happy? True happiness comes from knowing JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR! That's were joy comes from! When He is our love our lives are different from those around us - we can have joy no matter the circumstances if we know the ONE who is in control of it all - when you trust JESUS - you don't have to worry about what is gonna happen to you - GOD will take care of those details -our job is to just trust HIM no matter what! Many times we will only trust HIM When things go our way - that is not faith at all - that is seeing and believing - we cannot believe based on what we see -what we hear - or waht we know intellecturally - it's who we know!
If you don't have a personal relationship with Christ you won't ever find true happiness - God will not allow it!
We must surrender all to JESUS in order to be free from the entanglements of this world! This place is however passing by - it will soon be good and all we will have is our faith - faith that brings us life - love and joy! Are you trusting in anything other then Christ for true happiness - for many happiness is the next gadget to occupy their time - the new wife to replace the old one that things didn't work out wiht -
the new job to replace the one with all the problems- soon to find the new one has different problems but problems none the less - you will never be satisifed with this world - it's not our home - JESUS wants us to long for HIM - HE loves us with a love we cannot understand - if you want to be happy trust in JESUS - HE will be with you always!

Personally Blessed

PSALM 115:14-15
May the LORD richly bless both you and your children. Yes, Jehovah who made heaven and earth will personally bless you!

Today's verse reminds us that we serve a personal God - He is not some higher power that we cannot personally connect to - HE is personal - HE knows us by relationship - HE made us for relationship between HIMSELF and us - and others - God made us this way to need inneraction with others -
God made us to personally know HIM! And because of this HE can personally bless us - HE is not some unknowable force that we cannot relate too - no! HE showed us in HIS SON Just who HE is! Jesus showed us who GOD is! You can know HIM today right now in a personal way - HE is our personal savior - He saves each one of us personally - you can have a real realtionship today with the GOD of all creation - just ask HIM for it -He wants to know you personally - He wants a relationship with you - though our sin seperated us from HIM - HIS Son brought us back to the point of having a real lasting relationship with GOD Himself - Do you want to be personally blessed? Know GOD personally! He is waiting for you to act!
HE has already made a way where there was no way before!

Lifespan
PSALM 89:47a & 48a
Oh, remember how short you have made man's lifespan. No man can live forever..


Today's verse is another reminder that this is not our home, not that some of us need any reminder - many of us may have some physical aliements - that remind us this is not our home! That our life here is short and our bodies are passing away even now! The good news is our home is yet to come - the bad news is we must contiune on here until God calls us home -which is not a bad thing at all - God has given us this life as a gift - this is a trial run for eternity - we are all going to leave this world one day - and it won't be long says the writer of psalms 89 - At one time people lived a lot longer - but pollution and other factors limit our lives - but there is something more imporant in this - God determines the length of our days! He knows when He is calling us home - often we seem to act like we have all the time in the world and that death is just for others and not us - but the truth is we all have to face death sooner then later - last year I lost my dad and it was tough - he lived a nice long life - leaving this world at age 75 - he filled those 75 years with a lot of things! He lived out his dash well - do you know about the dash? it's not the birthdate and day of departure that are important - it's the dash that is in between those two dates? what are you doing with your dash?

Keep Our Lips
PSALM 141:3
Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth;
keep the door of my lips!

This past Sunday our pastor talked about the power of the tongue - how all it takes is a word to harm someone very badly - our mouths are the door way to what's in our heart - what we say - says a lot more about us then we might thing - Often in today's society you will hear things you didn't used to hear - you cannot watch a sitcom without hearing at least one word that we would not want our children to hear - or would we feel comfortable if our pastor would walk in during such a show - my purpose today is not to slam anyone for we all are guilty - but what's the answer? I believe it is found in today's verse- let's ask GOD to guard our lips! HE will do that because He loves us - and He knows it's not what goes into a man that defiles him - it's what comes out - and what is buried deep in our hearts will enviably come out - trying to erase the damage of words is very tough - words can end relationships and start wars - words can break up dear friendships and cause people to lose their family - words have the power to save and condemn - have you thought about what your words are saying! I was convicted when the subject of GOSIP came up - I was at first like this - surely I don't GOSIP - but the more I thought about it I sadly found it to be true - but I confessed and moved on - asking GOD to guard my lips - He is all we need to have control over our mouths - but we must give them over to HIM - allowing HIM to change our hearts thereby change our speech!

GOD MADE
GENESIS 1:27
GOD created man in His own image, in the image of GOD, He created him.

A song by the group NewSong is called "God made man" in this song it talks about walking the faithful walk with our Father God - it takes of HIS great love for HIS creation - we must remember HE made us - and HE made us in HIS imagie - we must remember this when dealing with others - we must love them because we all were created in God's image - we where wonderfully and fearly made says God's word! God made man because HE wanted to show us HIS great love - you know HE could have just decided to not make us - after all HE knew what we would do before HE made us! One of the greatest problems in today's society is that human life is not as preious as it once was - it seems the price of a human being has gone way down - look at the lack of respect children have for their parents, employee's for their their employees and many see an unborn baby as just a choice- not the life GOD put in there - GOD formed us in our mother's womb - we are made by GOD and HIS fingerprints are all over creation -we are GOD made - HE is the creator and we are HIS creation - let's worship this GOD who choise to make us - let's worship HIM as the GOD HE is - we are GOD made!

1st JOHN 4:7a
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of GOD!

It's been said that GOD is love! It's also been said that the message of the gospel is all about love! We are called to love each other! Jesus said that we would show this lost and dying world the truth by our love - our love will declare that we love JESUS - without love - life would be without meaning - we would have no reason to get up in the morning - I am learning a lot about love lately - God has called me to Children's ministry - and I have not experanced such love as I have working with these kids - they are watching and seeing if what I say and what I do match - that is a challange but one that GOD has equipped us to - I have gotten more hugs and more smiles when I have ever! Love is what keeps this world going round and round - Love is what brought JESUS from the throne room to earth and back! Love is what motivated GOD to create it all in the first place - HE loves us with HIS very best - HE gave us HIS Son - He gave us life - all for love - the Word says that we can do many things - but without love it's all worthless - Love should be our motivation - love for GOD and love for others - we are called to love one another - yesterday in church I learned about the tougnue and how it cannot be tamed - and in it are the power of life and death- are we being loving with our toungue and our lives? We must be all about love! Lets love one another so that the world will see the diffrence in our lives so we way bring GOD glory! Love one another and there by love GOD!

In our busy lives we often fail to take the time to develope good relationships with others - we often fail to put that much effort in getting to know those whom God has placed around us - often it's tough to delevelop good relationships in our face paced society - we seem to always be in a rush - we need to slow down -we need to meditate on GOD and HIS word - we need to allow HIS SPIRIT to invade every part of our lives - we must understand what GOD expects and live our lives in such a way that others who don't know HIM will notice - how are your relationships? Often we rush around all day never even enjoying one minute - we often have deadlines looming and we must meet all the expections we have for each day - many of us work very hard each day - and get home with nothing left in the tank - many of us use all we have at work and have nothing left for GOD or for others - we must take the time to mediate - to slow down - to take in God's word and learn from HIM - we need to be like Mary and less like Martha - let's choice the better thing - resting at the feet of our dear Savior!

WITH ALL

LUKE 10:27
Love the LORD your GOD, love HIM with all your heart, all your soul, all you strength, and your mind...and love your neighbor as your love yourself.


In Today's verse God does not throw any puches that miss - He gets right to the point - HE wants you to love HIM and other with all you got! With ALL you have! HE alone is worthy of all praise and love from us - HE alone is our Savior - HE alone came down from heaven to save our sin-sick souls. He alone is worthy of praise and honor with our lives- God demands that we love HIM with all we have! HE can demand that because HE is GOD! With that same sentiment GOD says we are to love our neighbors as well - we are to love those whom GOD puts in our lives - now we may not like them at times but we are called to love them with our all! Loving others is not easy - if you are in the work place you will find out quickly that there is lack of communcation and lack love in the business world - many are just there to get ahead - they don't care about you - but GOD didn't tell us to only love thoser around us that deserve love - but those who don't! We are to love the unloveable - but the point being is that we cannot do that apart from GOD! The world is watching us and it should know us by our love - our love for other and our love for GOD! Let's love HIM with all we have! Love like JESUS and the world will follow HIM!

Holds Us Close
ISAIAH 40:11
The LORD takes care of HIS people like a Shepherd. He gathers the people like lambs in HIS arms. He carries them close to HIM.


If you belong to the LORD you will be well taken care of - that's a promise - now that does not mean you won't have a want or two that you don't have fullfilled but all your needs will be met! God has made this promise to us if we would follow HIM, He would take care of us! We just need to trust HIM - He wants to hold each of us close to HIM - we are HIS children and as such HE will protect us - now this does not mean when we go out and do something that He tells us not to do that HE will be ok with us not obeying HIM - but HE has given HIS SON for us! He said I will give up my SON for you - and HE did just that and JESUS did as the Father commanded HIM and laid down HIS life for us! He not only told us HE would take care of us - HE showed us in HIS Son! He wants to hold us close because HE knows how evil and so far against Him this world is and HE wants us to be in HIS protective grip - sadly we sometimes go outside of what HE has commanded us to do and we have to suffer the consquences of our actions - but the good news is that it's only here - it's not forever - one day soon we will go home and be with our Savior forever - this is just a dress resherasl of the real deal - our Home is coming soon! Are you ready to be embraced by HIS arms of love?

His Comfort
2nd Corinthians 1:3
HE wonderfully comforts and strengthens us!


In this world you will have trouble warned Jesus many times - He knew we would have problems and trials and HE knew how hard it would be to make it in this world- that's why He comforts us with a comfort that is every lasting - not like the tempary pleasure of the here and now- this world is passing away and this is not our home - we will never find complete joy and contentment here -we were designed to live forever but since the fall man has been longing to have a relationship with GOD! but sadly instead of persuing God man has persured himself and has rejected the comfort that JESUS offers - they reject the truth for a lie - they go after whatever temporal comfort this world brings instead of JESUS - man has begun to love the creation more then the Creator - these things should not be so - we must trust in the ONE who paid for our sins on an old rugged cross! The world is passing by and it can often be easy to get caught up in pride and lose the fact that we need JESUS and HIS comfort - life is tough - do you know the ONE who can bring you comfort even in the greatest storm of your life!?

WORD TO THE WISE:
WHEN JESUS CHANGES A LIFE IT STAYS CHANGED FOREVER - WHEN HE WALKS IN YOUR LIFE AND ACROSS YOU LIFE YOU ARE NEVER THE SAME! SEEK HIM AND FOUND COMFORT IN HIM AND HIM ALONE!
BECAUSE OF CHRIST we are comforted by HIM!

FREE

JOHN 8:36
If the SON has set you free, you are free indeed!


Do you want real lasting freedom? Trust in the SON!
It is that simple - many want to make it a complex set of rules - of the do's and don't - some want some formula - what can we do to have freedom? What list of boxes do I need to check to be right with GOD! How much is enough - how much can I get by without doing? This is the worlds idea of freedom!
but JESUS gives the soul just want it needs - salvation - salvation is our greatest need - we can have all our earthly needs meet and not have salvation and in the end we will miss it all - this life is not easy - there will be times of pain - times of misunderstanind - and times when it seems like this world has it's chains on you - but JESUS wants you to live a life of freedom - after all HE paid for it - trust in HIM and allow HIM to change you from the inside out - allow the Holy Spirit to take control of your life and change you forever -allow God to make you a new creation - it can start for you today! If you want to be free, trust in the SON - the ONE who paid the ulitmate price for you - that's how much you are worth to God - never allow another person to take you away from JESUS - they may seem really good for you - but God knows better - you may lose out in the earthly but you will gain much more in the heavely - this world is passing by!
Be free today - be free in JESUS!

WORD TO THE WISE:
JESUS laid down HIS life to pay for your way to heaven! But we must take HIM up on HIS offer!
BECAUSE OF CHRIST we are free!!!!!

GUIDE

PSALM 48:14

For this GOD is our GOD for ever and ever;
HE will be our guide even to the end!

Do you know where you are going in your life? Do you have direction in which you are going? Does your life have meaning? Is the question "why am I here" on your mind often? Well I got good news for you! Today is the first day of the rest of your life - why not take this day - the first day of October and put your faith and trust in JESUS? He will save you on the spot - today could be the greatest day of your life - today you could come to know JESUS! Is HE your guide in this life? If we follow anyone else we will lead down the wrong path - often God leads us down a road that we would not choise to go down on our own - believe me - I have walked a road these past couple of years that I would never ever have chosen - but now as I look back and can see God's hand in it all - even the bad parts - GOD uses it all for good! He is my guide - He is the one I want to follow - sadly our flesh does not want to follow GOD - our flesh is just death - our flesh will not make it into eternity for GOD is giving us all a new body - a perfect body - if GOD is not your guide then who is? If we don't follow GOD the only other option is following the enemy - and he hates us - he will lie to you - he will cheat you - he will lead you astray - don't follow after him - follow after JESUS - allow HIM to guide your life - HE will guide you every day if you allow HIM too - HE loves you so much - why not trust in HIM today - today may be the best day of your life - today may be the day that it all changes - today could be the start of something wonderful - don't let this day go before you look at your life and see who is guiding it - we have a free will to follow after GOD or not - HE has given us all a choice -what is yours today? Will HE be your guide?

WORD TO THE WISE:
We are all depentant on someone - let's depend on GOD because no one else is greater and no one loves us more!

BECAUSE OF CHRIST we are headed in the right direction!
