Fit For The Kingdom

‌therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

1 Cor. 6:20

Therefore we should Glorify God within our lives in totality and it's hard to glorify God in fullness when we're limited due to obesity and health conditions caused by it.

We have concentrated on our spiritual fitness, as we should and have neglected the discipline necessary to take care of the temple that house's that spirit.

As a Military Veteran I can attest that wounded and ill soldiers aren't allowed in battle and as soldiers in the Army of the Lord we must be prepared for mobilization to take over territory, wage war and obtain spoils of war.

We are called to be faithful to a few things and He'll make us rulers over much. If we can't be faithful to our own bodies how can we rule and govern the much that most aspire to obtain.

Rick Warren said it best, "God created it, Jesus died for it, so we better take care of it" Apostle AJ Roney

MAYOR RAS J. BARAKA APPLAUDS PHIL MURPHY’S CHOICE OF SHEILA OLIVER AS HIS RUNNING MATE Statement by Mayor Ras J. Baraka “The people of New Jersey deserve statewide leadership that is courageous, innovative, and honest about protecting the rights of all citizens. In selecting Sheila Oliver as his running mate, Phil Murphy has demonstrated his commitment to transparent and open dialogue with all of New Jersey’s residents. Assemblywoman Oliver will bring to the job of Lieutenant Governor a wealth of experience, a keen intellect and a thorough knowledge of public policy. As Speaker of the Assembly, she demonstrated her independence and capacity for leadership. Sheila has never forgotten her roots as a child of Newark. Throughout her political career, she has been an effective and outspoken advocate for the cities of New Jersey and for social, economic and racial justice.

Everybody who knows Sheila knows that she is the perfect complement to Governor Murphy and will be a full partner in leading our state.”

YOUR DREAM HOME Real Estate Tips by Rick

The Skys the limit… tips for finding your dream home.

Congratulations, on looking for your dream home! You deserve it. It’s important to go into this purchase with a new mindset. In the past, you’ve probably looked for a property that met your needs – it had enough bedrooms for the whole family or the commute to work was a breeze. This is different. A dream home is more about fulfilling wishes than meeting needs. Don’t be afraid to make a sizable wish list.

Remember, that your property does not exist in a bubble. It’s part of a larger community that you will exist in on a daily basis. With that in mind, it’s critical that you find a neighborhood that suits your needs before buying.

The lot is often an afterthought when it comes to purchasing a property, but it should be in the forefront of buyers’ minds. It is the one thing about a property that cannot really be altered. Think about it: You could knock down a house and rebuild it from scratch, but regardless of the changes you make, the lot will stay the same.

When it comes to buying a home, especially the home you’ve been thinking about for your entire life, age does make a difference. Buying older homes and brand new ones each have their pros and cons, so be aware of what you’re signing up for before you submit an offer.

Whether it’s a style of living or the actual aesthetic of your property, you want to make sure your home is one that you’ll feel proud to pull up to each day. Since how a home looks is one of the first things that you (and others) notice about a property, finding a style of home that fits your personality is absolutely key.

The trick when it comes to finding your dream home is figuring out how much space you truly need. Buying a home that is too small for your family will leave you continually trying to configure the space to make it work for you. In the same vein, buying a property that is too large will allow you to spread out, but will wrack up large costs.

Not all square footage is created equal, which is where the floor plan comes into play. If you compare two properties that are 2,000 square feet, one could dedicate most of the space to the living area while the other could focus on more spacious bedrooms. While it is possible to redesign your floor plan after moving into the home, it’s a long process that requires a huge commitment of time and finances. Unless you are particularly handy, it’s a project that will require hiring a team of contractors. Be sure to focus on finding a layout that is as close to

perfect for you as possible.

Even your dream home is going to require a little bit of customization – as it should. Whether you’ve spent years wishing for a chef-style kitchen, poolside backyard oasis, or a tricked-out media room, it’s unlikely that those features will be exactly to your specifications from the moment you sign the deed. Keep an eye on how much customization will be required in each property you see.

This is not the most fun factor to think about, especially not when compared to upgrades and aesthetics. But, if cost is not considered, your dream home could end up becoming more of a worry than an escape. Try not to stretch yourselves to the furthest reaches of your budget.

As important as it is to be aware of what you’d love to find in your dream home, it’s equally important to take stock of which facets of homeownership will make you miserable. That way, you can guide your home search away from those qualities and avoid having your idealistic living experience marred by a feature you cannot change.

I believe that everyone deserves to find their dream home. With the right amount of research, it is possible. Use these important factors as points of consideration as you and your family begin the home buying process. They’ll help you focus in on the qualities that a property must have in order to be your perfect fit.

Invite someone to church!

Often times we can forget. If you haven’t invited someone to church recently then this is a great day to start and hopefully continue each and every Sunday after that.

The Bible Exposition Series: The Book of Acts Publication Date: Jan 27 2017 ISBN/EAN13: 1542808715 / 9781542808712 Page Count: 194 Binding Type: US Trade Paper Trim Size: 8.5" x 11" Language: English Color: Black and White Related Categories: Religion / Biblical Studies / Jesus, the Gospels & Acts

Authored by Pastor Rick Greene The Bible Exposition Workbook Series contains the complete KJV text of the Book of Acts along with hundreds of questions to help you grasp a deeper understanding of God's Word. Also included are over 40 maps and charts to help you visualize and really understand the locations, culture, and times.

The Bible Exposition Workbook Series is designed to help anyone who is seeking to have a deeper understanding of God's Word.

This is the actual workbook that I use in my Prevailing Word Biblical Studies class at Seton Hall University.

The Bible Exposition Workbook Series is based on the seminary training that I received at Eastern Theological Seminary by Dr. Bernard Wilks D.Min using the catechism or Socratic method of bible study. This method of learning is actually the way that the Jews taught scripture. This is probably how Gamaliel would have actually taught the Apostle Paul.
