It is nearly impossible to keep our children from being indoctrinated in America by woke ideology. Our focus in this season is to explore the reality of how WE ARE WHAT WE EAT. What we process determines what we produce.

1 John 4:7-12 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

God is inviting us back to the table very strategically to provide a sense of needed nourishment for what lies ahead. Revelation that is not nurtured is lost so we must purpose strategic times of rehearsing what God has been revealing if we are to become the strengthened church Jesus desires for us to become.

Institutionalism is problematic in the church and we spoke to that last week. As pastors it is vital that we own this and repent for cooperating with crippling the church through the commercialization of the Gospel.

Largely the world has the wrong idea about the church because Christians have the wrong idea about themselves. A church that was very upset as a local bar opened across the street. Knowing nothing else to do, the church members started a prayer campaign to address the matter. They prayed that God would intervene to remove the bar.
