In this message, we move to some very practical lines of thinking. Whether we like it or not, how we treat people flows directly from how we think about them. Are we able to be friendly towards people even when we don't feel they deserve it? Are we able to speak kindly and refuse to gossip or backbite? Are we willing to have a encouraging attitude rather than a critical spirit? Tough questions...just keeping it real.

Rev. Donald Gifford, Superintendent of the Indiana Assemblies of God, officially installed Pastor Matt.

I think, therefore I am. If that is true, then I better be careful what I think about. Is it honorable? Is it pure? Is it right?

Our actions and attitudes follow our thinking. If that is the case, then we better pay careful attention to what we dwell on. How do we take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ? This is a lesson we must learn.

Life will bring you storms. The trick is to not get caught in your storm but to press on and reach the other side where you will find your purpose.
