Remember
the Fire
A Spiritual Renewal Retreat
"Heading to Montgomery last week, we packed the kids into the
car and drove up 167 out of town. I glanced down to check my gauges.
Oh-oh. My temperature gauge was climbing straight toward the
redline. I pulled over and popped the hood. Steam hissed from the
front of the car. The radiator had burst, and I could see the hole.
I LINCed Rich Brannon on my cell phone/radio and he towed me back to
town.
We
need radiators to keep our cars from running hot, don't we? We need
aspirin to take our fevers down. We need freezers to keep the ice
cream from melting. We need to keep things cool. Yet, our spiritual
lives are not among those things.
How
hot is your spiritual life running? Do you remember the fire and
excitement of our early days in the faith? Did you ever think you
could change the world? Are you still passionate about sharing the
gospel? Is your spiritual temperature gauge running hot these days,
or cold? Do you feel the fire of the Holy Spirit burning in your
bones or has it been cooled by the icy waters of Murphy's Law?
On
May 28th, from 8:30 - 3:00, our church will offer a spiritual
renewal retreat called " Remember the Fire." There will be
five speakers from our church, including J.J. Hughes, Annie Lee
Riley, and Grace Reagan. We hope you will take time our of your busy
schedules and consider your journey of faith. We will examine our
individual testimonies. We will reflect on our first realizations of
God's love for us. We will consider our calls to ministry and how
God has carried us through some rough places. I believe that
everyone who comes will "Remember the Fire" and rekindle
the fire of the Holy Spirit in their lives and the life of the
church.
Go
ahead and call the church office to make your reservations for
"Remember the Fire."
