Last night many attended the Fight Club Valentines Dinner and Dance.

The attendees ate, laughed a lot, tried to sing, some danced, rehearsed old stories and remembered their courtship.

And this was at a Church Dinner.

Paul said it “All things are available to me”.

We can do and engage and have fun….while still remembering who and what binds us together.
We can hear the sermon that said our past does not define us…..but remember and rehearse moments from our past which gave meaning and color to our lives and is worth recalling.

Paul also wrote “Not all things are prudent”

There were things not done nor said at the event last night….because The Word abounds in our hearts and minds.

In the balance, there was fun, there were uplifted hearts, there was dancing…..there was freedom.

JESUS walked in Freedom. He came to deliver us from evil….but His initial miracle was to create wine at a party. He allowed for the party to continue. Not a Roman orgy…. but the celebration of the Union of two people.

In His Life He exampled freedom as he laughed, ate, went to parties.
In His Death and Rising from It….He gave us another level of Freedom, eternal Freedom.

Last night was a celebration of the Union of about forty couples.
It was the celebration also of the unity we know and experience in the group we are involved in at
Metro.

May we remember that unity as we go out today.
Share it, spread it….
Show it.

Show and share the horizontal love we feel and have for each other….then reveal and reflect the vertical Love we receive and possess for our God…the grantor of our Freedom.
