Recently, I made a comment to Josh and Cyndi concerning Brody. I said they probably didn't notice it, but Brody seemed to be getting taller. The basis for my comment is the fact that often when we constantly observe someone or we are consistantly in someone's presence, we won't notice the slightest of changes in their features. Grandparents will notice changes more because normally they are not in the company of their grandchildren as much as the parents are. Sometimes changes occur without much notice. Those who endeavor to live spiritual lives must be keenly aware of the changes that are going on not only in the world around us, but also, in the spiritual realm. It becomes more and more necessary to keep our spiritual edges sharp and to make sure when changes come, that we aren't confused and spiritually disoriented by those changes. Jesus spoke of events that would come upon an end-time generation. He said that when those things would come about, that we should know that His coming was nigh at hand. So let's take notice of all the changes that are going on around us. When He does come back, the true church won't be surprised! We'll be ready!

Experiencing the move of the Spirit and new birth of water baptism once again last night reminded me of the scripture in Luke 15 where Jesus says there is rejoicing among the angels of heaven of one sinner that repenteth. Seeing someone baptized in Jesus' name causes the church to rejoice in that we see the fruit of labor and the new beginnings of a soul who comes to the foot of the cross to begin life anew. The old song says, Joy unspeakable and full of glory, full of glory, full of glory. That's what we experience when someone is born again. We are marching toward a 100 soul revival!
