So heres what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary lifeyour sleeping, eating,

going-to-work, and walking-around lifeand place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Dont become so welladjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. Youll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops wellformed maturity in you. Romans 12:1-2 (Message)

Our challenge to you: Set aside time for your family to worship together and buld strong bonds by modeling God's love to each others. If you don't, who will?
