On February 12, Cross Point celebrated 5 years of...pointing to the cross and carrying ours! That was a pretty sweet worship service - we had old friends joining us, videos from past interns and local partners, guests from our sending church in Arkansas, and a lot more cool stuff!

Above all, we should be reading a healthy amount of Scripture. Open up your Bible daily, and READ!!! "As my health returned, I was able to use my eyes longer. I had been sustaining myself from my Scriptures a verse at a time; now like a starving man I gulped entire Gospels at a reading, seeing whole the magnificent drama of salvation." -The Hiding Place, Corrie ten Boom. A few other books that I'd recommend, not to replace Scripture reading, but in addition to it: Visioneering by Andy Stanley, a book that I married into 10 years ago, but recently worked through; The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer, opening it up is an invitation to go deeper with God; and The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom.

Way to respond - Way to come through! We took advantage of a great opportunity, through a local connection, to give to others for the Cross Point Cares Christmas Project. The Christmas season is now over, but we should continue to show we care about others. So...take advantage of the many small opportunities that you have each day, to show God's love in a practical way!

We have had some great opportunities to spend time with some unique guests over the last couple of weeks! What a sweet time it was to meet and fellowship with the Bible Translaters, who work in Indonesia, that we have been partners with for four years. And then more recently some senior adults from the church that planted Cross Point five years ago, Holland Chapel, made the long trip to Lakewood! We've got relationships with God's children all over the world, and that's pretty cool; but, let's not forget to treasure the relationships we have with those in whom we live in community! People are Priceless!
