This is the view of Mount Carmel in Alexandria as seen from the heavens. This place was named for the beautiful mountain in Israel that overlooks the Mediterranean. It comes from the Hebrew word that means “vineyard of God” or “garden of God”. One of the reasons the name was chosen was because of the beauty of this site overlooking Lake Carlos. The name reveals the Hebrew connection between God and nature. The second reason this name was chosen is because of the battle that took place on this site between Elijah and the priests of Baal (1 Kings 18). Christians bring their friends to this Mount Carmel to free them from the Baal battles of our culture today. Discover more at www.MountCarmelMinistries.com.

Today, the Irishcast help us grasp our personal dilemma of living under the law. The only solution for overcoming its grip on us is in the death of God’s only Son, Jesus. Jesus becomes our curse. Jesus becomes our sin. And thanks to His resurrection, Jesus becomes our hope. The image on the picture for today describes how the law and the prophets described by Jesus in the two great commandments are finally fulfilled in us as well by the power of the Spirit whose fruit fulfills what the law demands. This promise in Galatians 5 is also found in Paul’s writing in Romans 8:1-4.

As you think about proclaiming peace today, consider who it is you know who proclaims peace to you. Maybe take time during worship today to listen to one person who may need you to proclaim peace to them. Consider the famous quote of St Augustine. The peace of Christ calms our restless soul because He absorbs all our sins into Himself and gives us in exchange His peace. Pray for someone you know to experience this assurance.

Families celebrate freedom together by having fun in some old fashioned ways. The water carnival each week captures the excitement of making fools of yourselves while getting really wet. When we know Christ is our true refuge we don’t worry about appearances and can enjoy the silliness of a water festival. It’s one of the ways we get to remember we are children of God and not adults of God. Let our Lord help you discover some silly way today of being a fool for Christ.
