...death still stinks

It's no secret that C.S. Lewis has been one of the most influential figures in my Christian life; I quote him all the time. Think on these words by Lewis on this Sunday morning...and take them with you when you gather for worship today.

"He cannot bless us unless He has us. When we try to keep within us an area that is our own, we try to keep an area of death."

Ever walked up on a dead animal in the woods? Death has a distinctive smell; and regardless of how many olfactory-associated adjectives we can use, death still stinks. Unfortunately, though, some of us have lived with the stench of death so long that we've gotten used to the smell. God, on the other hand, hasn't.

I'm praying for you as we journey with our Lord and with one another through these 40 Days of Fasting & Prayer for spiritual breakthrough...
