If Jesus is worth anything, He is worth EVERYTHING

My friend Clay and I talked yesterday for a long time....of course if your talking to him its gonna be long, in a good way. Anyway, he suggested to listen to the Mark Cahill message online that is called Lukewarm no more and so I did. I have gotta say it is exactly what God wanted because through God's message in which He used mark, He told me through Revelation 3:19 "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent." I know that I have been so lukewarm lately. I have acted as though the Christian life is a playground instead of the battlefield that it is. Everyday I've woken up this past week or so I haven't woken up to the reality of the Christian life and the urgency of the matter of eternity. By making excuses to grow lazy instead of absolutely giving the Lord every fiber of my being, I have realized that when you are outside of God's will for you not only in your life, but in that day, you will become lukewarm and will grow sick and tired of who you've become....that is of course if you have at one point in your life surrendered all to Him. I hate what I have become and I want to do anything I can to shine the light of Jesus Christ EVERYWHERE however I can. I have just been thinking how I can do that and God has opened my eyes to several oppurtunities around me to do that. It is amazing how God never ceases to provide oppurtunities to glorify His Name. I know the people across the street from me do not know the Lord and the people next door to me do not know the Lord, so I have decided in my heart to pray for them and then go to them and share with them what I always have wanted to share but never have shared. If I become totally rejected, great....for great is my reward in Heaven! I need to start being a light for Christ that shines so clear and bright instead of a dim light that cannot lead anywhere. If you are reading this and feel that you want to repent of your sin and follow Jesus as being a true disciple, know that He said, "Those who forsake all cannot be my disciple" in Luke 14. I encourage you to repent and start pursuing holiness, start pursuing God. Don't be ashamed of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Giving it up and Just Meeting God

I was about to go to bed the other night when Doug told me he wanted to just chill with me and talk about what God is up to. I had been running around like a chicken with my head cut off all day and was acting as though God would waste some of my time. I have now come to the conclusion that God deserves my time...even if it means me only getting about 4 hrs of sleep, like I did last night. I think this is gonna teach me to discipline myself about all the stuff I go to and do with other people so that I can sit and just chill with God for a while each day. I don't like the term "quiet time" because its just so lame sounding....I prefer Chill Time. I think if God were to use up to date lingo, he would call it chill time. I mean, why can't we just be still and know that He is God. I also think this will strengthen my love for Him and for others. If I really put the day into perspective BEFORE it starts, I know that things will go smoother with God on His rightful...

6 Ways to Stay Humble

An old country song goes like this: “Lord, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re perfect in every way.” Most of us would not put it so bluntly, but we all find it hard to be humble. The problem with us is that we forget who we are in the grand scheme of things. We must remember that we are but dust created in the image of God and made to display His worth. One particular passage of Scripture is thoroughly helpful in turning our eyes off our own navels and onto God’s glory: Philippians 2:5-11. By meditating on the gospel in this text, even the most prideful among us will be leveled low. To stay in a humbled position... 1. Feast your eyes on the matchless glory of Christ (vv. 5-6) “ Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped …” Paul ascends to breathe the air of Mount Everest in this ancient hymn of the church. He speaks of Jesus’ divinity and equal status as God ...

Use Your Gift!

The past few weeks, I have not been using the gift that God has given to me. Ever since my freshmen year of college God has revealed to me that He has given me the gift of boldness in evangelism. I know that evangelism is not a gift, but a command so that is why I see that boldness in it is what He has blessed me with. As I purposed to use my gift in the beginning of college to the glory of God, many people were raised from the dead and brought into Spiritual life and many blind eyes have been opened. The more I practiced evangelism, the more I saw my knowledge of it and passion for it grow. This summer, God told me to try out this youth internship at a church to see if it is really what He wants for me to pursue because I love youth ministry as well....or did. This has been an amazing summer and I love it, but God showed me that this is not for me at all. I have a burning passion, a pumping heart, an all out raw desire to tell people straight up the Gospel. So, because of m...
