How God is Working in the New Hope Community Book Recommendation from a New Hope member |
|
|
From, ChristianBook.com... Explore the inward, outward, and corporate disciplines of the Christian faith---and learn how central spiritual practices such as prayer, fasting, simplicity, solitude, confession, and celebration can become part of your daily activities, bringing God's abundance to your life. Features a brand-new foreword and chapter on "growth of the soul." "Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline emboldens its readers to participate in practices used by great followers of Jesus over a millennia to place themselves before God and be transformed by His presence. Reading this has been a formative blessing." -Adam Broughton |

Thoughts from Above Quips, Wisdom, and Food for Thought from our Congregant Advisor |
|
|
When should you ask someone out on a coffee date? When you like them a latte. Why shouldn't you trust a pastry chef on Valentine's Day? Because they'll dessert you. If he doesn't appreciate your fruit jokes, you need to let that mango. What kind of man was Boaz before he got married? Ruth-less Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day. When we show love to one another, we show love to God. Remember, we love because God first loved us. |
