HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!!

A very Happy 2012 to all of the students at Sycamore!!

For the first blog post of the new year, I figured we would start fresh!


People have this weird obsession with New Year's resolutions. Unfortunately, we rarely see them last. 


What if, instead of resolving to change our behavior, we decided to change our thinking?


Picture with me the impact it would have if we (Christians) believed God at His word by focusing on who we are in Christ and what God truly says about us?? What a difference we would see in our lives!


Although this list is nowhere near exhaustive, here are a just a few critical Truths that God tells us are true of us when we are in Christ!!

I am God's: 

• Child (John 1:12)
• Friend (James 2:23)
• Temple (1 Corinthians 3:16)
• Ambassador (2 Corinthians 5:20)

I have been:

• Set free from sin and condemnation (Romans 8:1-2)
• Forgiven of my sin (Colossians 2:13)
• Given a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7)
• Given the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 1:22)
• Adopted into God's family (Romans 8:15)
• Given promises and all things pertaining to life (2 Peter 1:3-4)

I am:

• Complete in Him (Colossians 2:10)
• One with the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:17)
• On my way to heaven (John 14:6)
• Light in darkness (Matthew 5:14)
• A Victor (1 John 5:4)

I have:

• Access to God! (Romans 5:2)
• A home in heaven waiting (John 14:1-2)
• A living hope (1 Peter 1:3)
• The Mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16)
• Peace with God (Romans 5:1)

And the list goes on....


Let's allow God's truth to rule and shape our lives in 2012!
