Where Are You Headed?

I really feel the need to address some of the comments left here yesterday. First of all I was talking in general and I am very pleased with where my church is and where it is going. I was simply confessing the need for us to be more Kingdom minded. As children of God, we need to be more concerned with the people around us who are going to Hell when they die. The people we pass on a daily basis, the person in the next cubicle, that member of the family who we call the black sheep. It is simply an awakening to the Holy Spirit. And with the Easter season upon us this should be more evident than ever. Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe, sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. I like the way Dodd said it a few months ago, God is like a big clothes washer and Jesus is the shout, He removes the stains of sin.

How many people are sharing the love of Jesus with on a daily basis? Do you listen to the Holy Spirits promptings to share your faith? I think it starts with having the faith that God can in fact use you to witness to others.

I had lunch with a new customer yesterday and the first question he asked me after our introductions, was "Do you know my friend Jesus". What a blessing to meet someone who is so secure in their faith that they are more concerned about where you are headed than what you will think of them. Did you catch that? More concerned about you than he is about himself. His coworker, who joined us, said that everywhere they go he is inviting people to church and telling them how much Jesus loves them. It was truly a blessing meeting these two gentleman and I look forward to the relationship we started building yesterday.

Rent the Passion this week or next week and be reminded through the eyes of Mel Gibson just what Jesus endured for you and yes for that person who is the least among us. He died for all people, so that we may have the gift of eternal life. Are you daily letting Jesus down or can you say that He is pleased with how you are living this life? Can you honestly say that you are making a difference? Think about it!

Have a Blessed Day!!!

Michael, be encouraged! Titus 2:15 says, "Let no one look down on you". God is your rock. I am excited for you, brother, and lift you up in prayer. God has great plans for you and has given you new eyes to recognize it. God is doing a great thing in this place. Thank you for being sensative to the Holy Spirit and saying exactly what He stirs within you. You are an inspiration!

I think some people get bent out of shape when you step on their toes a little. Hope all is well.
