It's great to share from Proverbs with you.

My heart is to enlarge your 'Insight for Living'! God has a grand plan for your life and huge aspirations for this world. Paul, the apostle, said in Romans 8:19-21 '...creation is waiting eagerly for the children of God to be revealed.'

Are you sensing there's more to your life than you're experiencing now? Proverbs holds so many keys to living life well.

In March and April, I'll be addressing the 'Challenge of Wholesome Relationships - Making Life Work'.

This is about where the rubber hits the road in our Christian faith.

It's about God enabling you to live your life with a sense of congruity, power and focus taking you beyond 'knowing with your head' or 'sensing in your heart', to actually outworking it in every day life. It concerns the way you relate to your spouse, family and friends—putting you in stark contrast to the dysfunction that so many people have accepted as the norm for their lives.

I recently heard this: 'Christians have the potential to be truly human - anyone who doesn't know Christ is living at best a sub-human existence!' You see, a 'human being' is someone who's found their being in God! Anything else is just a 'human doing'!

My prayer is that we as a church and, more importantly, you as an individual will grow in 'Wisdom and Power'. That your everyday relationships portray Jesus in a way that causes those around you to say, 'I want what you've got'!

Let's grow together!

Yours in Jesus,
Hans
