We're off!

Well, the school year is definitely upon us. All the campuses have had one or two meetings now and we are hoping and praying for God's grace upon us to glorify His Name on the campuses this year. Also, Gary feels we should focus on our heart this year. Paying attention to, tending to, and asking for God's grace upon the state of our hearts. At the fall kickoff this past Saturday, Gary gave a great message about tending to our hearts in the way a stork tends to their young, and contrasting that by how an ostrich tends to their young. (see Job 39:13-17) Like the ostrich, we can look great on the outside, while neglecting one of the most essential and important things about us. So let's all seek God to give us pure and undivided hearts full of devotion to Him. He is so worthy of this, for who is a great God and Savior like Him, even sending His Son to redeem lost and sinful people! "Blessed (Happy) are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" Matthew 5:8
