Spiritual maturity comes from not only knowing Jesus Christ but from the growth of our spiritual strength and faith in Him. Through the many trials and tribulations we have endured and overcome with unwavering faith through it all. Coming out of those times celebrating Jesus the same way we did as we went into them. There are times when we'll miss when we were children, especially when difficult situations presents itself. Because it's easy. But it takes a different level of maturity for us to handle more serious and malicious situations, as we bear a greater responsibility and are held to a higher level of accountability. Whatever the situation. Jesus can handle it. Have courage, He will see us through it.

In our small group at The Forge this morning Ken Contreras encouraged me with a great idea. We were discussing if our family has core values, and if we plan to write some down. Here is my family core value/mission statement that I am telling my boys: "Faggard men are solutions" What are some core values or a family mission statement you have or are working on?

Gents sorry for the late notice, I have to be in Canton by 8am so I will not be there in the morning.

Thank you for having me today gents. I just wanted to share that I 100% felt the holy Spirit in that room today more than I can say anywhere else I've been (as of late). Not that the spirit isnt there otherwise, but it was definitely there today. Thank you, God bless, and Goodnight

Isn't it incredible that God loves us so much, that he has shown us grace and gave us new life? He chose us. Believers we are saved! We're not dead anymore. We must live and walk with purpose. And obey our Father who's words breathed life into us. I'm sold. I get it it. Now onto sharing this with others. They must know of this good news!
