We are doing an updated 'sermon' on music and all that goes with it these days.  i.e.. kids getting smarter because they are in band; worship in churches today, melody vs rhythm and mind vs flesh, etc.

As always lately, I apologize for the sound - and video.  I just don't seem to get that all working properly anymore!

As always lately, I apologize for the sound - and video.  I just don't seem to get that all working properly anymore!  The video loses the picture about half way through the 'sermon.'  I am about ready to give up on the video!  The sound and buying headphones, etc. is a challenge enough without trying to figure out the video issue now!  Where are the computer techies - doesn't anyone want to live in North Dakota?

We know that all things are lawful... but we also know all things are not...  We have a great liberty in Christ, but when we actually do something that 'will burn' in our judgment seat, is that all that happens?  Do we reap anything 'down here' beyond just a botched action?  Paul talks about fellowship... can we jeopardize our 'fellowship' at all?  Maybe just a little?  a lot?  None?  Do our actions down here still cause some hindered 'assistance' from the Holy Spirit?  Questions - Questions - Questions!  Here are some scriptural thoughts!

More on how we can quench and grieve the Spirit - not be chastised by God, etc. but we can still spoil our fellowship with the Risen Saviour through the Holy Spirit. 

Ahhh, meditation!  So how does one meditate according to Paul?  LIsten in!  It isn't that hard, actually.  We just have fight the flesh - just like Paul did!
