Monday Recap on Tuesday, 07.06
"So long 70 degree days of June." This morning I couldn't tell the difference between the steam coming off my coffee and the heat induced haze of early July.
Hope you had a great July 4th. Our family spent the evening with friends in the country just west of town. Tons of great Hoosier cooking and a phenomenal pro fireworks display right in their expansive back yard. Good times 
I have to say I was encouraged with the number of people and the energy they brought to Oakbrook on a holiday Sunday-way to go!
Mark and Ronda are on vacation this week, so please remember to pray for God to replenish their minds, bodies and souls as only He can.
I heard the Bookstore had a TON of people checking them out in their new location next to the Café yesterday. You purchased a lot of books pertaining to our current series; way to go, friends!
Here are some highlights from Sun's talk:
"We can't prove there's a devil. We can't prove that love exists either...."
Who is the devil?
"Satan who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe..." 2 Corinthians 4:4 nlt
A counterfeiter:
"...Even Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light!"
2 Corinthians 11:14 nlt
A tempter:
"Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil." Matthew 4:1
And when Satan tempted Jesus-HE USED SCRIPTURE!
Sobering thought: If Satan can quote Scripture-don't you think we should be able to?
Murderer and a liar:
"...He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of all lies." John 8:44 nlt
Christ followers are PROTECTED in Christ:
We're free from any charge against us (Rom 8:31-34)
We're hidden with Christ in God (Col 3:3)
We're born of God & the evil one cannot touch us (1 John 5:18)
BIG IDEA:
Want to limit the devil's influence in your life?
Allow God to increase His influence in your life.
Are you following your heart or following God? Ask yourself these questions to lead you to the answer:
What do you think most about?
Where does your money go?
How do you spend your time?
"So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
James 4:7 nlt
I'll have my entire message text on my website shortly http://morgancafe.com
If online giving could serve you while you're vacationing this summer check our website http://oakbrookchurch.com/give/
Enjoy your vacation-but be sure to ask Him along in all you do, everyday! This still holds true, even during the summer:
"Don't just TALK about it, BE about it!"
Peace,
-Morgan
