a great morning

so after a wonderful week of rest in NJ, we headed back to church this morning. i spent some time in the word before we left, trying to pick songs and i felt God's direction to plan songs that fixed our attention on God. william taught from rom 12:1-2 and i really like petersons translation in the message. in reading that - the phrase that stuck out to me was "fix your attention on God and you'll be changed from the inside out." so all in all i thought the songs went well and the morning was great. i told amanda it is very refreshing being in a mainline denomination because at least once a week we hear things like "salvation is about being renewed and being transformed - not a list of a bunch of dont dos." william put it this way - it's not salvation by subtraction, ie i dont drink, i dont smoke, i dont do this or that or etc....and therefore i am a christian. it is very encouraging to hear these things from the leadership of the church. also, i love this thought from last sunday... "salvation is not about getting me into heaven. it's about getting heaven into me." and also - "to get the hell out!" i love it!!
