Weekly Life-Giving Moment
Submit a Life-Giving Moment”My mom passed away and we moved my dad to a new Independent Living facility in San Antonio. When he asked about a Protestant Church service at the facility, he was told that they had a volunteer pastor that would come on Sunday mornings but he had been appointed to a church and was no longer available. During my mom’s final months they would watch Lakewood’s services together on my dad’s computer. He has now watched the last two services online and has figured out how to stream it on his TV. He told me last night that he has determined that he can accommodate seven people in his apartment so he is going to stream our services and invite other people to join him! What a blessing Lakewood is to this new group of seniors!

Mutual Respect and Love
None of us enjoy feeling obligated. We much prefer to experience things we have chosen for ourselves. Last Sunday we looked at Ephesians 5:21-33. This is a passage that at times has been misunderstood as describing an obligation. However, what Paul writes here really becomes life-giving when it is voluntarily chosen. In the letter to the Ephesians, Paul has shared God’s vision for humanity: for every person to become part of the family of God.
