FLOW Now

The dictionary defines fasting as a period of self-denial. To deny the body what it wants.... hmmmm. Seems to me that this discipline of fasting might have the stigma of being just for adults. Or even better-- for the older adults. Whatever the case, "fasting is not for me. I'm too young. I'm too busy. I don't understand it."

Whatever the excuse, it doesn't jive. LOYC has talked about the importance of fasting in the past. It brings us closer to God. It helps us get our body (the fleshy desires if you will) in check. So that is why we are calling all our LOYC students to FLOW for the month of October. FLOW stand for Fasting Lunch On Wednesdays. Each Wednesday at lunch, push the plate aside and pray. Pray for what? Glad you asked...
1. Fast & Pray for our AMPLIFY weekend. For teenagers to encounter God in a fresh way.
2. Fast & Pray for our youth church. For a true hunger and thirst for God and His Word.
3. Fast & Pray for yourself. Whatever you need, make it known to God.

Wrap Me In Your Arms

my tv: the biggest loser

I am loving "The Biggest Loser." It comes on Tuesday nights at 8PM and you get to follow 16 or so individuals who struggle with physical and health complications due to weight. What attracts me to this show is the determination these contestants exhibit. They are put through emotional and physical stress. They are forced to admit their shortcomings to themselves-- ON NATIONAL TV!... and yet, they have a goal and those that are not detoured, those that are determined-- make it to the end. God wants us to develop that muscle of determination. If we start something, let's finish it up. I think we find it easier to quit, give up-- but those that are determined to finish get the reward.
