We all have lots of different things to which we give our attention, our effort, our time, even our finances. And most of the time the things that dominate our schedules and our list of priorities aren't necessarily bad in and of themselves. There's nothing wrong with advancing our careers or setting and accomplishing goals or having nice possessions. But what about when I become more passionate about pursuing those things than I am about pursuing God? What do I do when something besides God begins to own my heart?

From Series: "Uncluttered"

Many of us have allowed ourselves to accumulate a lot of junk. Not old clothes or broken toys or containers of random bolts and electrical cords, but we accumulate addictions and criticisms and debt and various anxieties. We hold onto thoughts and habits and even relationships that are unhealthy or hurtful, and they end up clogging up our minds and our hearts and keep us from freely experiencing the life God wants to carve out for us. We invite you to join us at Flagstone as we begin the new year identifying some of the clutter we’re holding onto and discovering how to clean it out and experience a more uncluttered life.
