This summer, we are going through a series on being strong in Christ. Last episode we highlighted being strong in Christ spiritually and this week we go into being strong physically.

Take care of your soul as if you were going to die tomorrow…take care of your body as if you were going to live forever. St Augustine

You are the Temple of the Holy Spirit

God Created it, Jesus died for it, the Spirit lives in it, I’d better take care of it.

In this episode we examine ways we can all personally work to be Strong in Christ Spiritually. This is the first of a series on being Strong in Christ.

When we don’t put on the armor of God we open a crack and the devil can get in.

Happy Feast Day:

Be who God meant for you to be and you will set the world on fire. St Catherine of Siena

This quote rings true to the mission of Serpent Crushers! Listen to God and not the world.

Jesus wants his children back. If you feel far from Christ either because of sin or discouragement come back to him. He wants to hug you and take away your pain. You are not alone. I invite you to come back to him, the only one that can heal you. Linked below is the Acts XXIX Podcast from last week that encouraged me in this episode. Thank God for the Path that is making you a Saint! Jesus is waiting. Come to him. You are not alone. We all have times of struggle. Come back to Jesus.

First off I apologize for my voice, I have been fighting a sore throat but wanted to get this message out!

Who do you need to forgive?

Forgiveness: Turning the situation to God. Releasing the need for an apology and for people to say I am right and they are wrong.

Choose Joy. Letting Christ Shine through us in the hard times. Letting his light be shown to all, especially when the world says to hide it.

Patience : Long Suffering. We must suffer for love.

“Do Not Ask for your trials to be removed, rather for the Grace to bear them well” St Andre Bessette

Philippians 4:4-9 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, do; and the God of peace will be with you.
