Message from the Prayer Cordon - March 7

Prayer CordonAs the Kirk Prayer Cordon gathers in the Fireside Room each week, our thoughts and prayers focus on you and others on our prayer list. We thank God for you and your important witness to the rest of us. Your steadfast faith is truly an encouragement to us.
 
Recently at our Wednesday evening service at the Kirk,
Dr. Pritchard reminded us from Philippians 2:5 of the importance of having the same attitude in ourselves that was also in Christ Jesus. In other words, we are to have
the mind of Christ and try to think like he did.
 
Paul restates this idea in Ephesians 4:24 where he calls us to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.  Wow, what a tall order!  How do we even start to do that?  At the Prayer Cordon, we believe that the answer begins in verse 22 and continues in verse 23.  First we lay aside the old corrupted self.  Then we renew ourselves in the attitude of our minds.  Ah, renewal of the mind.  Just as Paul says in Romans 12:2, renewal of our minds brings transformation.  That's why Paul says with confidence in Philippians 1:6, "For I am confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will continue to perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."  What a promise from God!   As we renew our minds in God's word, he continually transforms us and perfects us until the return of Jesus.
 
At the Prayer Cordon we think this is wonderful news, and we are thrilled to share it with you.  We hope you are feeling better, and we look forward to seeing you soon at the Kirk.
