My wife is undergoing an attitude adjustment. Do I have your undivided attention, now? Amanda is undergoing an attitude adjustment, even though I don’t think she needs one. J
Of course life has been a little different around our house for the past few weeks. Amanda had surgery one month ago this week. During the recovery process, she has had to limit her physical activities, and spend a little more time reading and a little less time playing tennis. However, she is doing great and she has consistently had a positive attitude. I admire her good attitude because when I am sick or my activities are limited, my attitude tends to degenerate.
But her attitude adjustment has nothing to do with surgery and, hopefully, nothing to do with the challenges of living with me. Amanda has freely chosen to engage in this gradual attitudinal transformation by participating in one of our Sunday Night Discipleship Opportunities. During January through April, we are offering three Sunday evening discipleship options that will equip us to grow in our faith, and “live by the book.”
Amanda and several others are involved in a course led by Karen Shell entitled, “Lord, Change My Attitude (Before It’s Too Late)” based on a book by James McDonald.
Dr. Conlee Pickens, one of our members who is a retired pediatrician, is leading a “Survey of the Old Testament” designed to introduce you to the books, characters, and themes of the Hebrew Bible.
Don Minton is facilitating “Experiencing God,” an in-depth discipleship journey aimed to enrich your personal walk with the Lord.
These groups meet on our First Baptist campus at on Sunday afternoons. The courses began last Sunday, but it’s not too late to join. Contact Don Minton at 433-5631 or dminton@fbcp.org to register.
A word about this Sunday: Last week in our series, Living by the Book, we focused on God the Father. This week we are focusing on God the Son. In preparation for Sunday’s sermon and Bible study, I encourage you to read Isaiah 53 and John 14:4-11.
I am looking forward to Amanda’s ongoing attitude adjustment…and mine…and yours…..and I am looking forward to seeing you in worship and Bible study this Sunday morning as we learn to “Be doers of the word and not hearers only.” (James KJV)
