Crazy Week But God Is Gracious

January 28, 2017 by Phil Auxier

Ok…It’s been a wild ride this week and so the blog has been crazy…

On Sunday, my heart raced to 160 beats per minute for about 45 secs.  This concerned many around me, so I went to the ER to get things check out.  All the tests came back fine.  Blood work, EKG and other tests showed my heart looked good.  Met with my MD on Monday morning, and he wanted to pursue a stress test to keep ruling things out.  That happened Tuesday.  Finally heard on Thursday that everything was a-OK there.  So, that’s the physical side.

The Youth Leadership Reno County program I help facilitate traveled to Topeka on Wednesday to tour our state Capitol.  We got a picture with the governor, got to see the legislature in action, meet with our elected officials, and got back early evening.

Thursday, I went to Kansas City to get some studying in.  Enjoyed some great fellowship and encouragement with some friends of mine and did some sermon work for the upcoming season.

Friday and Saturday, I met with students and sponsors from Crestview to take in the Ready Conference at MBTS.  We heard some amazing speakers: Owen Strachan, Trip Lee, John Mark Yeats, and Jared Wilson, enjoyed some good fellowship, and were stirred to live a life that honors God.

So, it’s been a full week.  Many have prayed or reached out to me with expressions of love and care.  I’m grateful to have such amazing people loving and supporting me in life.  Hope you have a great weekend.

At Crestview, Lord willing, I’ll be preaching tomorrow, continuing our short series on the church.

From One Degree To Another?

Yeah, that's right. My one, consuming passion is Jesus Christ, my Lord. I'm totally gripped by one message: the Gospel - the good news that God came after me when I was far from Him. So, the life I live, I live by faith in Him: He loved me and gave Himself for me.

From One Degree To Another is the change that He's accomplishing in me by grace. Growing downward in humility, upward into Him, outward toward others, and inward with renewal characterize my existence.

This site is where I flesh all of these types of things out, including my life as a slave to Jesus, husband, father, coffee-enjoyer, and pastor. I hope it encourages you.
