I just read this in the intro to Erwin McManus’ book, The Way of the Warrior: An Ancient Path to Inner Peace.
When we look around at the turmoil of this world, our hearts full of fire, it may help to look inside and see if our hearts are any different.
If my heart is no different than the angry world before me, maybe the place I should start is with myself.
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV2011) 23Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
This is a great book, given to me a couple of years ago by my wife.
Although it’s written for pastors, it’s excellent material for anyone who is walking in faith.
![From Weakness to Strength: 8 Vulnerabilities That Can Bring Out the Best in Your Leadership (PastorServe Series) by [Scott Sauls, Joni Eareckson Tada, Scotty Smith]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Y8mi7xKmL.jpg)
The book gives an honest look into struggles Christian leaders and pastors regularly face.

Social Media Platforms are puzzling at times… and therefore, unreliable.
A year or so ago, Facebook removed our access to our page for a few days. The platform never explained why.

They said they wanted us to verify our account. Experience indicates they may take a while to get back to us.
Because things like this are outside of our control and because we communicate with our church body online, be certain that you have signed up to receive alerts here at the pastor’s blog. It’s very unlikely we’ll ever lose access here.
Just enter your email address on this blog and you’ll receive email notifications when there are updates.

Looking ahead, these are the days that it appears we’ll be meeting at 5:30 p.m. but keep an eye on this website just the same.
You will want to try to avoid reading ahead. This is a common mistake that small group members make and the outcome, generally, is that when the chapter of the week comes up, they don’t reread it and then feel lost in the discussion. Just be patient.
Read the appropriate chapter for the appropriate day.
I really loved meeting with you last night. I felt it was a great group.
