Sunday recap

• Church at the Depot today. It was good. Bigger crowd than last week. It was good to see everyone.
• Had A&W Root Beers for the dads today.
• Spoke on "Lord, Make Us Holy." "Holy" simply means "set apart." God has called us to act and think differently than those who have no relationship with Jesus Christ. We are told not to "conform" to this world but to be "transformed." Two things are required for this transformation: a new heart which you receive the moment Jesus Christ becomes your Savior and the Lord of your life, and a renewed mind which is a process and takes time. A new heart changes your desires while a renewed mind changes your attitudes. Both together changes your actions. Holiness is evidenced with a right attitude about sin. You see the harm and damage caused by sin. You want to avoid it and be free of it. It also effects your attitudes about others. It causes you to love purely. The difference between holiness and legalism is that legalism condemns others and holiness loves others. And lastly it shows in your attitude toward God's Word. It is His Word that changes the way we think which changes our attitudes which changes our actions that cause us to be "set apart" for God's glory.
• Had a great Father's Day. Rachele and Camille came over Sat. to give me a gift. It was too sweet. Had lunch with Jenny and Brian and the rest of the kids.
  
• The US Open was awesome. Go Celtics! What happened to the Braves. I go away and they go in the tank. There is still time though.
• Probably won't blog until I return home from camp on Friday.
• See ya!
