welcome to connect: project 2011

This blog is a project I'm undertaking for 2011... Why don't you join me?

The goal is to spend a little time each day reading from a devotional book, Daily in Christ by Neil T. Anderson, and connecting with people via blog post and comments.

Don't have the book yet? You can find it on Amazon, or you can read the daily post at:
www.crosswalk.com/devotionals/dailyinchrist

Why would we do this? For me, it's to reinforce a habit I need, to own my own faith, to connect with God and what He's saying to me, and to connect with people who are hungry to know God more...

Your reasons might be some of the same as mine.

The more folks read and comment, the richer the experience will be. Join the discussion!

How important is it that I know God’s word? 

Regarding standing against the lies of the enemy, Neil has this to say:  Dealing with Satan is not a power encounter; it’s a truth encounter.  When you expose Satan’s lie with God’s truth, his power is broken.

It’s not my job to hunt down every lie…  No Spiritual Ghostbusting, remember?  My job is to know the truth, and stand ready to pull it out when needed. 

How do I know that truth?  I spend time, every day, reading and understanding God’s word.  It’s not about the time I log or the numbers of chapters I read.  It’s about the level to which I let His word saturate the soil of my heart.  I read, I mull on it (some people call it meditating), I might even memorize it. 

As I get to know God’s word, I’m practicing with my weapons of war.  Thank you, God, for Your word that trumps everything else…

About Me

I've been a teacher, a church administrator, and currently I'm an at-home mommy, which is my most challenging assignment yet. My home church is WellSpring - it's where my heart is, where my family is. I'm so grateful to God for His work in me and the people He's allowed me to share life with.
