In the study Me Myself and Lies by Jennifer Rothschild, we are examining the things that are cluttering up our "thought-closets". When I was growing up, I shared a bedroom with my twin sister, and like most kids, our room occasionally became messy and cluttered. However, whenever our mother made us clean it, instead of shoving everything under the beds, we did exactly the opposite. We did a full spring cleaning! Jen sorted and organized everything in our closet, while I rearranged every piece of furniture at least once. Our mother just wanted to see a tidy bedroom, but we did an extreme room makeover!
Sometimes spaces need that kind of attention. In fact, even "thought-closets" need cleaning. Romans 12:2 tells us we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Jennifer challenges us to evaluate what’s in our thought closet. Are your shelves jam-packed with reminders of former failures? Is there a jumble of secret insecurities littering the floor? And what to do with all the lies you've been telling yourself for years? Does your thought-closet need an extreme makeover? God can do it!
It isn't too late to join us for Thursday evening bible study! We meet at 7 pm and if you would like more information, call the church office at 503-304-4000.
