The Fellowship from Within

Recently, at an Area Assembly, the subject of how A.A. could be destroyed from within came up. One of the chief things I see as an obstacle to our growth (and sometimes a barrier to our unity) is the lack of focus on our singleness of purpose: recovery from ALCOHOL. I am plan to kick off a series of blog entries to discuss this and invite your comments.

A New Year of Possibilities!

2012 has arrived and with it (I hope and pray) a new attitude on my part and perhaps my wife's, as well.  I have resolved to surrender to my compulsive over-eating (which is ushering me toward insulin), get in better physical shape and get active in a Bible-based Church.  It has been a while since I have had a regular place of worship and I know it would do me a lot of good by bringing me closer to the Lord. Romans 8:28 King James Version (KJV)   28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Wanting To Do The Right Thing

We love because he first loved us. - 1 John 4:19 (NIV) This morning, I picked up my wife's copy of a devotional publication she receives called Our Daily Bread . In today's reading, the author talks about a children's ministry where the kids are rewarded for their good behavior with prizes. One boy, who is offered a reward for behaving well, refuses it and says that he behaves well because he wants to and doesn't need a prize for doing as he wishes. When we love God, we wish to please Him. We should all strive to be like that young boy in the story and do the right thing because we want to, expecting nothing in return. Of course, the hard part is that, as believers in Christ, we know there's a reward! So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. -2 Corinthians 5:9 (NIV)
