Dear Bros in Christ,

Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. Brothers in Christ, this weekly encouragement is sent and meant to be an encouragement to all and to build up and edify in the Lord Jesus Christ. Oikodome means "Builder". The Lord has put this on my heart to send out a monthly ron !an Oikodome "oy#kod#om#ay$% to build up and encourage the men who lo&e and follow Jesus Christ in their walk with 'im. Hebrews 3:13 " ut encoura!e one another dai"#, as "on! as it is ca""ed $oda#, so that none of #ou ma# be hardened b# sin%s deceitfu"ness." PRAYER REQUESTS: f you ha&e any prayer re(uests please send them and will send them out to the bros for prayer, if pri&acy is needed will send in a discreet way.

This analogy might be applicable, if we are dri&ing a car and then come to an intersection -ust as we approach we see a yield sign for our direction so we know we can continue through the intersection without stopping as long as there is not another car coming through at the same time. But if there is another car we must yield and stop for that car and gi&e them the right away to go through the intersection because of the law that is in place we ha&e gi&en up our right or freedom to -ust dri&e through un#yielded. !uch in the same we when we come to Christ we ha&e gi&en up our freedom or right to choose doing things that are contrary to our Lords *ord, we no longer go through life un#yielded to )od but we must present our bodies as a li&ing sacrifice. *e gi&e way to )od, we yield to 'im e&en though we don.t ha&e to+ we could keep going the way we want to go. But now we want to obey 'im and yield to 'is ways to keep us from ha&ing a collision with our body and mind leading to sin+ n order to do this we must yield both our body and mind because our body will do what we concei&e in our minds.
