Before we talk about the importance of taking ownership, let’s get
the big picture clearly in mind. That all-encompassing fact is this: God has
taken ownership of you and me. We have been ransomed from slavery in
the kingdom of darkness to be brought into Christ’s kingdom of light. The
ransom was costly

God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring many
children into glory. And it was only right that he should make Jesus, through his
suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their salvation.
—Hebrews 2:10 (NLT)

In Scripture, we get glimpses of God’s order in the garden of Eden
and His command to Adam to work and keep the garden. We see it in His
precise instructions about many things, including Noah’s ark and gathering
the animals, the building of the tabernacle, sacrifices, and worship. We see
it in Jesus’ earthly life, in incidents like His directions to the disciples as
He prepares to feed five thousand people and His instructions on where to
meet Him after the resurrection. We see it in Jesus’ mission, to bring peace
between God and man and repair that broken relationship. And we see it in
the glimpses we have of the new heavens and new earth coming.

All things have been created through him and for him . . . And in him all things
hold together.
—Colossians 1:16, 17

Here is one more example of the order with which our God operates: He
has given each of us certain gifts, and within His church we all complement
each other. This verse from Ephesians gives us a beautiful picture of God’s
design for His followers to be interconnected, giving and receiving life from
each other.

He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special
work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing
and full of love.
—Ephesians 4:16 (NLT)

Orderliness in your life will help to prepare you to live wisely and
intentionally, making the most of every opportunity you have to live as the
Lord guides you. Disorder, whether it’s in the state of your desk or your toobusy
and frantic schedule, will keep you from living out the commands of
this verse.

So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.
Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but
understand what the Lord wants you to do.
—Ephesians 5:15–17 (NLT)

Supposedly, the average person has about fifty thoughts per minute
running through their head. Our thoughts can be just as disorderly as our
desks, our calendars, and our surroundings. Again, we can go to the Scriptures
for a training manual on how to order our thoughts. Remember, Paul says we
are to let God make us into a new person by changing the way we think. His
Word lays that out for us.
Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope
fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
—1 Peter 1:13 (ESV)

Decluttering our space. Books on the subject have hit the bestseller list,
and for a fee, “experts” will come into our homes or businesses to help us
organize, downsize, and declutter. But long before all of this became a national
topic, God’s Word held wisdom for us about the worthless things in our lives.

Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.
—Psalm 119:37 (ESV)

Have you ever admired a beautiful sunset, stunning vista, or a breathtaking mountaintop view? God is a masterful artist with unmatched creativity. This creativity is on full display every autumn as the leaves turn from green to a brilliant array of yellows, reds, and oranges.

Paul’s letters to the believers in Corinth included many instructions for
conducting their meetings. Why all these instructions? Because “everything
that is done must strengthen all of you” (1 Corinthians 14:26 NLT). The
bottom line about orderliness in our lives is that it benefits us and those
around us. It saves time and money. It fosters a sense of harmony and reduces
stress. It increases efficiency and productivity.

Everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.
—1 Corinthians 14:40

09/21/2025

The very word “orderliness” brings a sense of calm and peace. God
is a God of order and peace. We see His order in the intricacies of creation.
None of us ever wonder if the sun will come up tomorrow in the western sky
or if summer might be followed by spring next year. We can trust tide charts
because God has ordered the movements of the sea and the moon.

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.
—1 Corinthians 14:33

09/20/2025

It is not only the spirits around us that we must test; we must also
test our own spirit against the Word of God. That is the standard we want to
follow. Not modern-day culture or anything else that presents itself. Above all
else, we are to be God’s holy people, honoring Him and living lives worthy
of our calling.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are
from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
—1 John 4:1

Today is the Last day to register!
There is always work to be done at the Lodestar Mountain Inn. From cutting firewood to landscaping, from dusting to sweeping and mopping, and from construction projects to general cleanup, there is something for every skill level and capability. This beautiful retreat center and the ministry that happens here were very special to Wayne Wingfield, Steve's older brother. Wayne gave much of his time and resources serving at the inn through relationship-building at events and sacrificial giving toward scholarships for gap year students. Each year, we commemorate Wayne's legacy of service and giving with a weekend and work day dedicated to him.
You are invited to celebrate Wayne's life and memory with us at a special event at the Lodestar Mountain Inn named in his honor: the Wayne Wingfield Memorial Getaway Weekend and Work Day, September 26-28.
