"In the Beginning", the daily REMINDER from The Carroll Family Outreach (formerly The Sparrows' Nest or TSN), is intended to jump start your day with the Lord. The Bible opens up with , "In the beginning, God..." It is our prayer that you will use this tool to begin or "restart" your day with the Lord! Only what we do for Him will last in the end!

Spiritual workouts
Could it be such a thing as a spiritual workout?
The more we do it, the better we will become at resisting the devil and drawing closer to the Lord. Just do it!!!!
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. (JAMES 4:7-8)
James reminds us to resist the devil and he will get out of our way. This seems to require some effort on or part . . . and practice! Resist is defined as withstanding or refraining from something. Again . . . effort!
As with any exercise or effort, the more we perform the exercise the stronger and more comfortable we will become when doing it. So . . . may I suggest that we begin or continue our spiritual workouts (efforts) or resistance on a daily basis?The more we do it, the better we will become at resisting the devil and drawing closer to the Lord. Just do it!!!!
