We've started this new series, PULSE, at Bay West Church in Palm Bay, Florida and it's proving interesting in the study. The whole idea for the series comes from Proverbs 4:20-27 and the title framework for the series comes from the practice of taking your pulse after a run or some exertion. We do that by pressing our finger against a pulse point to check our heart rate. This practice allows us to check the signs of our body and to see that our body is functioning properly.
It doesn't have to stop there. We can do this spiritually and hence the series PULSE. In Proverbs 4, we identify 5 spiritual pulse points...the ears, the heart, the mouth, the eyes, and the feet.
An interesting aspect that we find out in searching the Scriptures how all these points are linked together Scripturally. As in Proverbs 4:20-27, these areas seem to be mentioned in tandem at least two or three at a time and it's hard to find places where only one is alluded to. That's because, like the body, all these areas of our spiritual lives are linked. When one isn't working correctly, others are effected, because the health of one increases or helps the health of the other.
It's the same way in our families or our marriages or any of our relationships, we are the body of Christ and when one person is failing, it effects us all. This principle of the body carries over into many aspects of our lives so that we see that the Creator has a theme. It's interesting to see His handprint all over things.
Please pray for us as we continue to be a church in palm bay and bring Christ to west Palm Bay.
