Wholehearted

Good Morning! Last night we had an awesome meeting in preparation for the '08 Upward Basketball season. Matt Lusk did a great job with his presentation and he really led by example last night and conveyed his wholeheartedness (for this ministry). You can just tell that he is sold out and he is willing to do whatever it takes. Thanks again Matt for your stories and for your commitment. May God continue to bless you.

I was talking with a customer about my friend (the one I shared with you yesterday) and he pointed me to Hebrews 10. I want us to look at that scripture this morning. These verses really cover the whole walk. From the call to become a new being in Christ to the penalty for rejecting it. Take a look, I believe it is a call to be wholehearted in all we do.

19 So, friends, we can now—without hesitation—walk right up to God, into "the Holy Place." Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice, acting as our priest before God. The "curtain" into God's presence is his body. 20-22 So let's do it—full of belief, confident that we're presentable inside and out. 23 Let's keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. 24 Let's see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, 25 not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching. 26 If we give up and turn our backs on all we've learned, all we've been given, all the truth we now know, we repudiate Christ's sacrifice 27 and are left on our own to face the Judgment—and a mighty fierce judgment it will be! 28 If the penalty for breaking the law of Moses is physical death, 29 what do you think will happen if you turn on God's Son, spit on the sacrifice that made you whole, and insult this most gracious Spirit?
Heb 10:19-29 (MSG)

Have a Blessed Day!!!
