A New Series

This weekend we start a new series within our fall focus on Renewing Relationships. We're calling it "What to Wear".

There's a show on the TLC channel with a similiar name called What Not to Wear. It's a show where the hosts ambush people who have a severe fashion problem. They offer them $5,000 to buy a new wardrobe with the only requirement being that they give up all of their current clothes and they purchase new clothes according to some new rules.

My girls love watching it. Samuel and I aren't too into it, but we have only one cable box and they outnumber us 2 to 1. (it does make us more grateful for the NFL channel.)

I do have to say that the "victims" (the fashion challenged) actually look better at the end the show. And it strikes me that the show is less about what NOT to wear and more about what they SHOULD wear.

So... that got me thinking... the scripture is clear about things we should put off... anger, malice, lust etc. , But, I believe the Lord is equally concerned with what we actually "put on". So, where going to talk about three of those things; gratitude, humility and the armor of God.

All within the context of relationships. It'll be fun.
