Jesus is able for you to live right!

The Kingdom provides abundant ability!

2 Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

Once again I want to deal with 2 Peter 1:1-9 and the Abundance God has for His people. The Kingdom of God is more than enough. It is a kingdom of abundance. Anyone entering/living in the Kingdom will have all that they have need of. There is provision in the Kingdom. It is ours by inheritance but that does not mean it is ours to neglect or abuse. Verse three says that God’s divine power has provided everything we need to live in this life and to live like Christ. Then, we get this explanative word. (through). The divine power for all we need comes through our knowledge of Him.
The word Knowledge is the same word used other places. The word knowledge is Greek in Peter and Hebrew in the Old Testament. But the definition has many of the same components. We can live with all that we need as our intimate relationship with Christ develops. This is why we must continually add to our basic faith in Christ. We have all that we need through our relationship with Christ. He called us to know him by the authority of His own glorious, perfection and the authority of His character.
What this one verse means to us today, is we have the power to be who God has called us to be. We can be led by His Spirit, we can meet the challenges of everyday as more than able in Christ Jesus. You have all that you need through Christ's ability. GO MEET THE CHALLENGES OF THIS DAY BECAUSE JESUS IS IN YOU AND ARE ABLE! Pastor Aaron

Current Family & Ministry Update:
Yesterday, was a wonderful day. It didn’t start so well. Kristy woke up very sick, throwing up, and her body ached all over. She rested and slept most of the day. I am glad she is feeling better and I think she needed the rest no matter what. I started the morning by going to a chapel at Willamette Christian School for a Pastor’s Appreciation Chapel. It was wonderful to see the kids who had invited me and to see their faces light up. Today, I was reminded that what you can do in the lives of children matters the most and it really doesn’t take very much. Show a little care, go out of your way and it can mean the world to a child.
I went home to check on my lovely wife and to take her everything. I thought Wal-Mart might have that would make her feel better. I hate to see her not feeling well. She is such an amazing woman and it takes a lot to get her down. If you can please pray for her and that my rumbling stomach doesn’t get any worse. We are both needing to get things ready for B.T.I. this weekend.
The day was full and kept me very busy. Some days it seems like my main function is just problem solving. This was one of those days. I worked with Hudson on some T.V stuff and did four weeks of openings and closings for our television program. I pray that God uses these television messages to reach people and to go into places where the message of Christ might no go otherwise.
My daughter Lauren called because she was very excited to have a girl at school come to her and ask her about getting serious about her relationship with God. Lauren was excited to be able to minister to her.
Jet and Haley were so blessed to have my parents visit their school for grandparents day. Once again this shows how the investment you make in the lives of a child is very worth the effort.
Our mid week adult Bible study went well and was very exciting to hear the passion in people’s voices when they spoke of their love for Christ and their desire to follow Him. Worship, testimonies, the Word of God and the fellowship was all very fulfilling. Have a wonderful day and allow your knowledge of Christ to increase. Pastor Aaron
