Change

I had a little extra time last night and I decided to play around with the blog. I changed the background and added a picture of the kids. Change is a good thing.....always. The problem we face with changing is that is not always comfortable. The book that I just read called The Barbarian Way has revolutionized the way I think. It really challenged me to lay down traditions and mindsets....particularly where church is concerned.


I was already out there and way outside the box, but now I can't even see the box. Gone are the days of mediocrity, we are called to do whatever it takes to reach people for the Kingdom. It is a necessity and a command from Jesus Himself. God never made any suggestions, He made commands. As children of God and followers of Jesus we are called to be so much more than what we are on Sunday's. It is time starting right now to engage the problems of traditions and archaic mindsets head on that have for way too long held church's back. I know a few out there are probably thinking I have lost it and I'm out of my mind.......you couldn't be more correct. I am 100% out of my mind and I am enlisting Barbarians who will stand with me. To once and for all be the people we are called to be. It won't be easy, in fact it will be hard, but it is what we are called to be. It only takes a few to make an impact.



I have not been transformed into a super christian or anything........just woke up. If you want to give it a try go today and buy the book. I know it is just the writings of just one man, but the simplicity of it will really make you think. Here is what it looks like



Have a Blessed Day!!!

I've been in a spiritual slump lately. I've been lazy. I've been reading Leviticus the past few days and I realized that man...they had a hard time at getting washed clean from their sins. It was tough being a Christian then. I realized how easy it really is for us to just ask God for forgiveness and it is taken care of. Then we become so lazy we can't even say a prayer, read the Bible or help others in need. I need to step up and out of the box more often than I do. I want our class to reach out into the community and quit worrying about "self". Later man, just had to vent myself.
