1 Corinthians 6:20 - “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” Just the other day I had been out working all day, and didn’t take the time to eat lunch (trust me, this is not normal for me). By the time evening rolled around, I was pretty much consumed with hunger. It was all I could think about! My mind seemed to be putting everything else aside until I got something to eat. Are you consumed with God? Is Jesus Christ everything to you, or just a small part of your existence? The great 19th century minister Charles Spurgeon said, “If Christ is not all to you He is nothing to you. He will never go into partnership as a part Saviour of men. If He be something He must be everything, and if He be not everything He is nothing to you.” Jesus bought you and me with an amazing price, and if we are completely given to Him we will desire to glorify Him with our whole life. Our heart will be to please Him in all that we do, and how we live. Lord bless your week! Pastor Mark Mehl

Deuteronomy 4:39 “So remember this and keep it firmly in mind: The Lord is God both in heaven and on earth, and there is no other." This week I spent some time driving in a very remote location in central Oregon. I drove for miles and miles before even seeing a home. When you spend your life in the city, it's very relaxing being out in the wilderness, but also worrisome being in a place so distant. "What happens if I have a flat tire?" or "What happens if I run out of gas?" At one point on the drive I checked my phone, and amazingly I was able to get reception! Even as far out in the middle of nowhere that I felt, I was still able to check my emails! This reminded me of our Lord. The Bible tells us that we can never get away from Him. Whatever we're going through, we're never too lost, or in too much trouble, or too deep in sin, or too far gone that we can't call out to Him. And what a great blessing it is to know that God's always there and willing to listen when we call out to Him! Lord bless, Pastor Mark Mehl
