ALONGOBEDIENCEINTHESAMEDIRECTION
Eugene Peterson, in his book A Long Obedience in the Same Direc on,
shares a penetra5ng insight when he writes: "Our a'en5on spans have been
condi5oned by thirty-second commercials. Our sense of reality has been
fla'ened by thirty-page abridgements.”
"It is not difficult in such a world to get a person interested in the
message of the Gospel; it is terrifically difficult to sustain the interest.
Millions of people in our culture make decisions for Christ, but there is a
dreadful a'ri5on rate...In our kind of culture anything, even news about
God, can be sold if it is packaged freshly; but when it loses its novelty, it
goes on the garbage heap.”
“There is a great market for religious experience in our world; there
is li'le enthusiasm for the pa5ent acquisi5on of virtue, li'le inclina5on to
sign up for a long appren5ceship in what earlier genera5ons of Chris5ans
called “holiness.” It seems that so many people start the journey with a
great bolt of lightning which fades as quickly as the headlines in the
morning newspaper.”
How are you doing in your walk with Jesus? Are you tempted to treat
Jesus as another consumer novelty that can be used when convenient and
then cast aside? Or are you on A Long Walk of Obedience in the Same
Direc on?
Let us also be vigilant of trying to “consumerize” the Gospel in an a'empt
to reach our materialis5c world, for that is like giving a sick child a sugar pill to
cure polio. He will accept the sugar pill because it is sugar, but it will not help
him, in fact it probably will only make him skep5cal of medicine. Indeed that
is exactly how it appears; so many people want a sweet sugar pill from Jesus,
that will magically make everything right.
Jesus will make everything right, but not necessarily in this life and
definitely not on any human's schedule. God is doing a mighty work in us,
transforming His children into the image of His unique Son. God is the
master-cra.sman who is forming and fashioning us according to His crea5ve
genius. This “make-over” is a life-5me process and will not be completed un5l
Jesus returns to take us home.

ANEWNAME
When you visit a medical office for the first 5me, one of the first things you
must do is answer several pages of ques5ons about your family history. There
are ques5ons about your family history in general: What types of illnesses or
diseases have been in your family? What is your rela5on to the person who
experienced them? And then there are ques5ons about your own personal
history: Have you ever had surgery? Do you smoke or drink? What illnesses
have you had? By skillfully listening to your history, the physician is more
equipped to treat you.
HEALTH ISSUES: Joe Albri'on, Cindy Caldwell, Tim Edge, Jerry Frederick, Harvey Geeding,
Misha Kimbell, Peggy McGowen, Carolyn Miller, Bill Newport, Roy PeHt, Banks Ready, Jerry
Richardson, Chris Rogers, Ki'y Ussery, Jamie Vorhof, Helen Weathers, Lula Whi'le.
SHUT-INS: Ann Estes, Valeria Canada, Maxine Drewery, Evelyn Fowler, Irmagene Hall, Lloyd

TRIPTOJOHNNYCASHMUSEUM
Saturday, October 1, will be a trip to the home and museum of Johnny Cash.
Museum cost is $8.00 per person. Sign up in the Welcome Center. For more
informa5on, call Be.y Hill at 662-349-3362.
What is your history in your walk with God? What is your family history in
rela5on to God? Some are blessed to come from a family of believers. Others
are not. But all have had the stain of sin on their hearts. Your name has not just
been your family name. It has been the name "sinner." "LusSul." "Covetous."
"Liar." "Adulterer."
But our Great Physician hears our story and knows how to treat us. He
promised us, "To the one who conquers...I will give him a white stone, with a
new name wri en on the stone" (Rev 2:17). God gives us a new name, a new
character, a new life. Your name expresses who you are. No ma'er what your
family history is and no ma'er what your personal history is, all who are in
Jesus have the same name: "Forgiven."
HISNEEDSHERNEEDS
What a great group to work with and grow in our ability to meet the needs of
our spouse in our “His Needs Her Needs” class. When you meet each other’s
most important needs, you create and sustain a feeling of love for each other
that is essen5al in a successful marriage. Spouses can learn to become each
other’s source of greatest pleasure when they meet those needs for each other.
Alice and I look forward to our 5me with you. Please share this informa5on and
invite friends and family to a'end our class on Wednesday nights in rooms 27,
28.
