    Do you Really?


    How's your heart? What moves it... I don't mean cardio wise, and blood flow...

    But what moves you into action? What makes you want to see your friends and family who do not know Christ get to know Christ.

    Do you really want to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ? If so, it's not easy. If so, it means action, if so it means taking time for others.

    If so it means you take the focus off of yourself and off of the same old inward looking selfish motives and you start applying your mind and heart to outward thinking and action.

    One of the scariest prayers you can pray is to ask God to "use you" to actually use you. If you pray for God to use you... He will... and it won't always be fun. It will be uncomfortable, it can be scary. But to see your friends and family come to know Christ and have a life changing relationship with the God who gave it all for us... To me it's worth all the anxiety and fear that may be on our journey known as life.

    Not an Easy Walk


    Relevant | Creative | Real | what does it take to be sold out for Christ?

    Do you ever wonder if we need to be all things to all people? If so, what does that look like?

    Do you seek to understand other people... Or do you live out different lifestyles?

    Personally for me, I have found that it's a head and heart knowledge you must have. It's not everyday that you will lead someone in a salvation message prayer... But it is everyday that you have the opportunity to be a vessel to spread God's love to other people. Let it be your family, let it be your friends, let it be your neighbors.

    If you are a Christ follower, it's not an easy task, He calls us to pick up and carry our cross if we are to follow Him. That's scary, that's hard, that's "different" compared to the worlds standards. But who's standards are you living by... The world's or God's...

    Remember God wants to use you to reach others.

    "If not you, then who?"
