: Good Morning Peeps,
: How are you doing this morning, good I hope?
: Did you have a good weekend, I sure hope so?
: Well we are kicking off another week, and
: actually the final week of July 2015. We
: won’t ever see this week again so make it a
: great one! Have a good and very Blessed
: Monday and rest of the week too!
:
:
: God Bless You and Yours!

: Enthusiasm is healthy and holy for your

:
: My thoughts and comments today are about
: “Inspired Enthusiasm.”
:
:
:
: By Pastor Allen Randolph
:
:
:
: Life is to be enjoyed; enjoy every moment.
: You are meant to live everyday to its
: fullest extent. I am not describing some
: exhausting pace to have it all and do it all
: or some merely emotional excitement. Life is
: sacred and meant to be savored, holding
: eternal value. When you realize that as
: true, you discover the source of enthusiasm
: and achievement. Enthusiasm is healthy and
: holy for your body, soul, and spirit, when
: lived with a noble context. It is
: interesting that our English word,
: “enthusiasm,” originates from the Latin
: word, “entheos, inspired by God.” When you
: are inspired, you inspire others. What you
: do with your life daily holds more eternal
: importance than you may realize.
:
: Life should be a full expression and
: fulfilling discovery of the abilities God
: has given you to serve Him and bless others.
: That warrants enthusiasm. The Psalmist
: discovered the source of enthusiasm, “This
: is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice
: and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24. This day
: is filled with the presence and purposes of
: God. Your response is to embrace its
: opportunities and enjoy His service. The
: Apostle Paul was direct and to the point,
: “Serve the Lord enthusiastically.” Romans
: 12:11 NLT.
:
: It is natural to be excited about your own
: good fortune, successes, and pleasant
: experiences, but life is more than that.
: Enthusiasm can appear to be no more than an
: abbreviated expression of emotion and
: excitement. Or enthusiasm can motivate and
: energize your best effort and attitude. Such
: an approach to life is not your response to
: life as you view it at the moment, but a
: preemptive attitude about life as it could
: and should be.
:
: Life allows you to be either a thermometer
: or a thermostat. A thermometer simply
: reflects the surrounding temperature, or
: others’ temperaments in this case. In
: contrast, a thermostat influences the
: temperature of situations and the
: temperaments of yourself and others for the
: better. Throughout every day that choice is
: made either deliberately or by default.
: Imagine the positive impact of enthusiasm.
: An authentically enthusiastic person could
: be described as: excited, eager, positive,
: passionate, zealous, animated, zestful,
: wholehearted, positive, or expectant. I
: think those words describe Jesus. I hope
: that would be the way others describe you.
:
: The key to inspired enthusiasm is plain and
: simple. Ask yourself, “Does everything I do
: express my intent to ‘serve the Lord
: enthusiastically?’” When you understand that
: even the simplest, smallest thing you do for
: anyone is serving the Lord, you will do it
: with the enthusiasm that deserves. “Serve
: wholeheartedly, [work enthusiastically/NLT]
: as if you are serving the Lord, not men,
: because you know the Lord will reward
: everyone for whatever good he does.”
: Ephesians 6:7-8 NIV.
:
:
: Today, I pray that your passion for serving
: God and blessing others will abound.

:
: K-Love’s Encouraging Words:
:
:
:
:
: Let your roots grow down into him, and let
: your lives be built on him. Then your faith
: will grow strong in the truth you were
: taught, and you will overflow with
: thankfulness.
:
: Colossians 2:7 (NLT)
:
:
:
:
: Today, choose to “Ride or Die” with Jesus
: Christ!
