This message started its life out as a 3-part series. This however makes it difficult for those who want the whole bite all at once. Well, so here it is three into one.
Ah yes and Gen X 'ers says I know where he got this saying. He has to have brothers and sisters because no doubt he remembers his mother belting this out whenever there was a habble scrabble among the kids in the back seat of the hot smokey car. You see I had to justify our behavior. We had big cars when growing up including a red Catalina Station Wagon. But oh was it hot in the summer.

But no the message is about those of us who think this is possible while also growing into the image of Christ. Paul's head was handed to him even though he said to get along with all men if it were possible. Now we know what he meant. That he wants to battle satan through humanity as if the satanic peeps knew what was happening to them. No, we do everything to get along, but know that as you look more Christ-Like trouble will hunt you down to test you at every turn. But you know we got this right? Yuppy we do.
