Five Years, Five Months...

For the first two services at Bronx Bethany Church of the Nazarene tomorrow (7:45 and 11:15 a.m.), our guest speaker will be Dan Bohi. We count Dan as a friend and brother in the Lord, and we look forward to hearing what God has placed on his heart. We continually pray for God's abundant blessings on Dan, his wife Debbie, and their beloved family.

The last time Dan spoke at Bronx Bethany was the weekend of March 28-29, 2009. Much was shared, but I'd like to remind us of just one small part of what we learned back then. I pray these words will edify and encourage us today.

What must we do if we want God to perfect our heart?

v  We must cut off all ties with sin.

v  We must be filled with the Holy Spirit.

v  We must have faith.

v  We must have perseverance.

v  We cannot attempt to defend ourselves.

v  We cannot claim to own anything.

v  We cannot take any glory for ourselves.

Lord God, we give ourselves to You completely. Choose our boundaries and the places we go. Move us, by Your Spirit, to live in total obedience to You. Cause us to rest in Your love and walk in Your truth. Amen.
