"CONNECTING PEOPLE TO GOD"
Welcome
to Living Water Baptist Church
of Memphis, Tennessee. We are a church organized for the
glory of God and built upon the sole foundation of the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Connecting People to
God is our Responsibility!

Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. — 2 Timothy 2:1

What Comes Naturally?
The story is told about an elderly man who retired
after many years in the British Army. One day a man
who knew about his long and distinguished military
career decided to play a prank on him. As the old
soldier walked down the street with his arms full of
packages, the jokester sneaked up behind him and
shouted, “Attention!” Without hesitation, the
military man dropped his arms to his side, and every
package went tumbling to the sidewalk. Without a
conscious thought, the veteran was doing what comes
naturally for a soldier.
Similarly, as believers in Christ, we should
respond in a manner that corresponds with our
new life. Our behavior is to be more and more in
line with the example of Jesus’ life. We still
must deal with sinful desires, so we need to
discipline ourselves to be the kind of person
God wants us to be. Like a soldier or athlete in
training (2 Timothy 2:3-5), we need to practice
repeatedly until doing what’s right comes
naturally.
Through faith in Christ we are children of the
heavenly Father. By the power of the indwelling
Spirit, therefore, let us develop the habit of
submitting to God’s Word. Then, in every
situation of life we will increasingly find that
obeying Him is “doing what comes naturally.”

BE BLESSED
Reflect & Pray
Lord, may our lips and lives
express
The blessed gospel we
profess;
So let our works and virtues
shine
And speak of Him who is
divine. —Anon.
When we walk with Christ, we
become more like Him.
Jesus died in our place to give us His peace.

Dear Lord, You bless me in
more ways than I can count. Thank You for Your love for
me.
When you think of all that’s good, give thanks to God.
