Fall is Coming FAST!!

There sure has been a chill in the air this past week and without a doubt the season is beginning to change.

As I'm thinking about the change of seasons I'm reminded that often our seasons of relationship with God seem to change as well. Not that we really want them to, or that we intentionally do anything to cause them to change, but from time to time we find ourselves going through a definate change in our closeness to Him.

Have you ever felt the cooling off of your time together? Or better, how often have you experienced a decided increase in passion, warmth and closesness to Him? Through good times and bad times it is important that we continue to develop our walk with the Master so that we always sense His presence with us. He has promised to always be there, to never leave us. This means that even when our feelings or emotions change causing us to doubt, He is there.

As Christians living in the U.S.A., we have so many freedoms, even with the current bias against Christians, that it is inexcusable for us not to work at developing a close relationship to Christ. Simple things, like tuning the radio to a Christian station while commuting to and from work, getting up a few minutes early to read the Bible before beginning the day, and giving thanks before a meal can really help tune a heart toward God.

So many other resources are available, such as good Bible studies, commentaries, and great books by Christian authors to help us develop our faith. Get hold of some good literature and let it fill your soul with encouragement. Here at Logos we have a motto that "What goes into a mind comes out in a Life", let the writings of others help uplift and inspire you to a deeper walk.

Finding good friends that share the faith will also help deepen the faith, remember that sorrow shared is sorrow halved, and joy shared is joy doubled. Develop relationships with a good group of Christian friends and encourage each other to stay the course.

Finally, find a good group of believers and worship with them on Sunday morning. We are called to gather together to give Him Glory and Honor, Praise and Worship. Let the Holy Spirit work through the message to bring hope and conviction, cleansing and forgiveness and an ever closer presence of God in your life, and, as you draw closer to Him, you will realize that He is always near,

He Never Changes....
