Welcome 2022 - The Word is Accentuate

 My word for 2022 is Accentuate. As a kid growing up "Accentuate the Positive" was often sang at our home.

Accentuate:

-my faith by focusing more on Bible study

-my relationships by emphasizing their importance (I struggle with letting the chronic pain take over)

-not focusing on the pain and celebrating the positives

Ephesians 4:22-24 says, "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."

Negativity is running rampant in our world and the church is no exception. So how do we " to be made new in the attitude of your minds?"

John Piper explained it like this, "The answer is to fill the mind continually with truth about spiritual, eternal, heavenly reality." In other words, accentuate!
