I have a friend who is a golf equipment junkie. Whatever is the newest club, golf ball, or latest gadget, he has got to have it. Just about every time we play a round of golf, something new is in his bag. If it isn’t a new club, it is the latest teaching or swing concept. In golf, technology is very helpful, but the discipline of practice is what is most important. People become good golfers by practicing and perfecting their game. Hours spent on the driving range, on the putting green, and on the course is what make one good. There are no quick fixes to a good golf game.
The same can be said for our spiritual lives. Often, one will look for the newest worship service, the latest teaching by the hottest spiritual guru, or something that is the next quick fix to holiness. Like my friend, there might be an initial tick up, but old habits don’t magically disappear. They are still there. A holy life is the result of spiritual disciplines directed by the Spirit of God. Discipleship isn’t flashy or quick. It is a slow walk with God, day-by-day, hour-by-hour, and minute-by-minute. The key is to be present with God each day, hour, and minute.
So, are you a spiritual junkie? If so, resist the temptation for the next latest thing. Find solace in a discipline life. Start small—one discipline at a time. Practice the presence of God in everything.

Please Pray for:
Summer is knocking on the door! Spend your summer with St. Paul! From VBS to Elementary Camp to Art & Mission Camp, we have you covered! When summer is winding down, and you start your back to school shopping, your children may join us at Pine Eden for Art & Mission Camp.
I can’t think of a better way to start school than serving others. Children in completed grades 1-5 may join us for an extraordinary camp at the close of summer!

Join us April 22 as Dr. Kathryn Cheek, Dr. Todd Jarrell, and Rev. Dr. Shane Green present “Let’s Talk.” Dr. Cheek and Dr. Jarrell will present the medical aspect of sex education to both children and parents, separately. Our senior pastor, Shane Green, will lead a session for parents around conversations parents may have with their children related to sexuality, and information their children are hearing from outside sources, such as television and music.
The well-being of your child is important to us. It is a privilege for us to partner with parents as they seek to guide and direct their children through the adolescent years.
This event is open to the community. We currently have 15 spots remaining, 8 for girls and 8 for boys. Both parents are encouraged to attend. The cost covers the meal and a booklet for you to take home.
Please email [email protected] to register.
