New!! january 13th, 2020DistractionsWell, it is a new year and already full of potentially distracting events. Indeed, distractions of this world are a very real threat to the residents of Kingdom Boundaries. Of course, that is true for all of us, but especially for those just out of prison. Not only do they have current events to worry about, but also the resurfacing of old habits and friends.
This of course makes it even more difficult in making the next right choice. It is clear in the Scriptures that we are not to allow distractions and worries to interfere with our walks, but of course, it is certainly easier said than done. The spiritual warfare that goes on against men and women who were once under the influence and bidding of Satan, can be quite intense. We see that on a regular basis here at KB. The devil and his demons do whatever they can to distract us from who we are: a new creation in Christ! Those still dealing with guilt and shame are an easy mark for the enemy. Understanding that we have been forgiven and have been given the ability to forgive others, is an especially important weapon in our arsenal. Sorting through all these forgiveness issues is indeed a process and for many it can go on for some time. This is where Kingdom Boundaries has been and continues to be a place of hope for new beginnings -- a sure hope based upon the Word of God. My goal while serving in this ministry is as follows: Point to the One who can redeem the soul [mind, will, and emotions], and then give a life joyful peace and purpose (1 Kings 1:29; Romans 5:1; Philippians 4:7; Ephesians 2:10). (Please pray specifically for God's enabling grace in this daily endeavor.) We are excited in the recent steps taken by the Board to enable KB to serve more men and start serving women. Please keep any financial support for this building project in prayerful consideration. As a dear brother in Christ and longtime mentor often closes his messages to me: "Keep your eyes on Jesus". He is indeed the Author and Finisher of our faith, so always look to Him! His many blessing to you, Tim Wendt KBPA Discipleship Chaplain Dear God, thank you for interrupting the downward trajectory of my life and making me a new creation! Make me ever more like You.
