If you were so inclined, I encourage you to read and reread the Book of Romans. What a grand book to read and meditate upon. I will list a group of verses from Romans you might consider memorizing if you have not already. As you read through the Word of God always ask these two questions: What is God saying to me? And then, what will I do about it?
Here are some of my favorite verses for memorization: Romans 1:16-7; Romans 3:34; Romans 5:8; Romans 6:23, Romans 10:9, 13; Romans 7: 24-25; Romans 12:1-2; Romans 13:8. Now for those who are really up to a challenge…let’s try to memorize Romans 8, the entire chapter. I had a friend who memorized the entire Book of Romans. Ok, that is a little much for me…but it would hold a wonderful blessing.
Update on the Transition House. This past Sunday night, we completed an interview with what we believe will be the next resident of the house. She will be leaving the Charleston Center this week even though the house is not ready. Temporarily, she will be living with one of our members until the repairs are made and the house is ready. The major plumbing work is scheduled to start Monday, June 13. Hopefully, once this is completed, the rest will quickly fall into place. The Charleston Center has once again started allowing their patients to attend Celebrate Recovery on Sunday nights. This has doubled our attendance to approximately 60 adults. We have about half that number again in preschoolers. I have said it often before: anyone can curse the darkness, let’s be the ones who light a candle. Thank you for being willing to take on one of the darkest problem in our culture today. You make a difference.
