Dog LVL - (Aug. 11-16th) - “Detox/ Mom I’m Going Sugar Free”


Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Phil. 4:8-9

Like with food, whatever we put in our body (whether by digestion or sense absorption), affects us. This is a week of living pure from distractions by replacing the distractions with things of Holy intent. This isn’t just about not doing things, but what you do to replace them. Some of you remember why camp was so good - you were in a community of friends talking and thinking of God in a place that was free from distractions. Remember!!! Please read 1 Thessalonians 5:14-24 this week.

Commit: To tossing the routine of checking your phone every 5 minutes and sitting in front of the TV for comfort (etc). Commit to abstaining from the things on the “distraction” list and replace the time you would normally give to those distractions with something that will bring positive results.

Pray: That you’ll see how certain things are affecting you life. Pray that you’ll be released from these “vices” and given over to habits and practices that enlarge your heart and strengthen your mind to do the Lord’s will.

Community: This works best when in community, because we were designed for it. When abstaining from something, do the alternative with friends or family. Its more fun that way.

The Goal: To discover the power of living a life with the soul purpose of putting God first and doing his Will. The goal is to detox from the influences we have given our minds and lives over to.
