PENTAB POTPOURRI PENTAB Communiqué SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 2013 THINK ON THESE THINGS Have You Forgotten Your Place? By Cheryl Curtis SURRENDER IS THE "But this is what I commanded them saying, 'Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you that it may be well with you.'" Jeremiah 7:23 We sometimes attempt to make God fit into a mold we have designed. We may never miss a church service, and faithfully go through the motions saying all the appropriate words and yet feel as though something is still lacking spiritually. We serve God and cannot change Him as much as we may try. BETWEEN ACCEPTANCE AND CHANGE IMPORTANT NOTICES ►OFFICE HOURS: The Church Office is closed to the public on Monday of each week.

How often do we fall on our face before him broken, humbled and totally surrendered? What is so dear to our hearts that we cannot relinquish into His hands? We want God to be Lord over our lives but we exclude Him from areas we don't want to be touched or changed. If we want the blessings and the promises, we cannot forget the sacrifice and obedience. We do not create plans for our lives and then ask God to bless them, we seek His plan and He will bless it. It is not religion and traditions that make us what God wants us to be but it is our intimate relationship with Him and our willingness to surrender all to Him. Prayer: "Lord Jesus, I do not question your management of my life. I trust that you are taking me exactly where I need to go. I surrender to you, and ask that you take this life and make it what you will. Let it glorify you. Forgive me for attempting to make you fit into my life instead of surrendering it into your care. My life is yours to design as you will." - Amen GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS ► Pentab Bookstore's 5% discount sale on all Educational Books, has been extended to the end of August 2013!
