Anyone who thinks Christianity is not fun has never tried it. It is like going for a second helping of dessert. This weekend the men are going to treat themselves twice. It is called ReTreat.
As His children, we will WALK IN LIGHT (Ephesians 5:8–14). This will enable us to:
- Produce good fruit. We will be generous to each other while doing right, and holding up God’s truth, 5:9.
- We will discern what pleases the Lord, 5:10.
- Through repentance & confession, we will expose shameful deeds to the light, 5:11-14.
As Christ’s disciples, we WILL WALK CAREFULLY (Ephesians 5:15–17). This will
enable us to:
- Wisely walk the talk, as revealed by God’s Word, instead of recklessly hurting each other, 5:15.
- Make the best use of the limited time we will be together, instead of
squandering our time for evil, 5:16. - Understand the will of the Lord, rather than ranting foolishness, 5:17.
And as Christ’s Holy Warriors we will MARCH IN STEP WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (Ephesians 5:18–20). This will enable us to:
- Be filled with the Spirit, instead of being part of a drunken party, 5:18.
- Praise God by addressing each other with songs that originate from melodious hearts, 5:19.
- Thank God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, every moment and for everything, 5:20.
Father God, thank you for your light that helps us to walk a careful & holy walk in the limited time we have in this world.
