We've just wrapped up a series at Crossroads called Sound Systems. The premise of the series was that God wants us sound in every regard within our lives. He wants us spiritually sound, sound in our relationships and sound in our finances. He wants us living with sound minds and sound bodies. 

By sound, I mean whole, well, healthy and strong. 3 John 2 says, "Beloved I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers." If we believe that, then we should put systems in place that help ensure that soundness in our lives. 

Systems are practices and disciplines that contribute toward a healthy lifestyle. Things like prayer and Bible study help keep us strong spiritually. Communication and serving one another keep our relationships in tact. Budgeting and wise investments lead to financial soundness. Meditating on God's Word and living lives of humility ensure mental and emotional stability. Proper diet and exercise are essential to having healthy bodies.  

We believe only God can truly define what soundness consists of. With that in mind, our sound systems must be High Definition. For these systems to operate efficiently in our lives, we must remain faithful and consistent in these disciplines and practices. You might say what we need is High Fidelity sound systems. Did you see what I did right there? Hi Def? Hi Fi? Sound systems!
