Seasons

Let me just start by saying how much i do not appreciate the heat. I am a winter guy and i LOVE my snow. I wish i could move in with my aunt that it a nurse up in Nunavut. If i could, i think i would! I would LOVE for the earth to be in winter mode forever.

Same thing happens so many times in Christianity. People find them self in a season that they really like and complain when the season changes.

We must keep in mind that without season change a few things will happen:

- You will get too comfortable where you are.

- If there is no season change, nothing will grow.

- You will loose respect and greatfulness towards the season you are curently in if you stay there.

Remember when you are all sweaty and have sunburn to thank God for the season you are curently in but also thank him for the next season that is to come!

God Is…

Wow, i feel like i owe you all an apologie for not blogging in soo long. Things have been crazy around here with Encounter, Events, Fundraisers, Events Planning, Etc… (especially wedding planning haha)

As most of you know, OCC is following the ONE PRAYER series along with Craig Groeschel @ Lifechurch.tv and currently 1872 other churches all across the world in order to become Jesus’ answer to His prayer in John 17:20-24.

This year’s theme for One Prayer is: God is…

We have already looked, together as a church, at the fact that God Is: Able as well as God Is: Moving. On Monday of this week, i was working at the bakery and i was just thinking and meditating on this word of God Is… As i was pondering on this fact, something came to mind that was quite shocking to me, yet very true. I starting to think about how God Is… (in one way) UNable. Let me explain.

Though God IS very able to DO anything, BE anything and BECOME anything we need Him to be, (up to a certain extent of course), in a sense, God is very UNable as well. Numbers 23:19 clearly states that God is not a man that He should lie as well as stating the fact that He is unable to break promises.

In Joshua 9 we clearly see that God cherishes convenants and that He is a God of covenants. God is UNable to break covenant.

All throughout Scriptures we see that God is UNable to be unfaithful.

Here are a few more – God Is Unable:

• To Sin
• To Be Where Sin Is
• To Deceive
• To Go Against Free Will
• To Be Unjust
• To Be Unfair
• To Ignore His Children
• To Hate His Children
• To Break Any Commandments
• To Make Mistakes

And that is just to name a few. Let me know your thoughts!
