Wake up.
I know how easy it is to go into auto pilot. It's easy. One day, you are focused, rooted and free from all entanglements and the next, you are sleeping at the wheel. But I also know that more and more, I find myself resisting the urge to fall into such a state. There is a quickening within me that is telling me to stay alert. I suppose that is what Paul was talking about in Ephesians 5 when he quotes, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the sea and Christ will shine on you."
I see in America a strong sense of urgency to love our neighbors. This is such a strong message that Jesus himself brought to us. He said, "and the greatest of these is love." To paraphrase also, that we are just a clanging bell if we do "the things" but do not have love.
Pause.
But also, he prefaces (generally), with the remainder of our sin and to steer clear of it and to steer clear of befriending others that would lead us into it. So to me, Jesus is saying to love everyone, but also, don't steer away from truth. Don't accept, encourage or applaud sin. This would go against everything he said. Just food for thought as we champion and love our neighbors. We are no good to Christ if we lose our saltiness...stay rooted in Christ, stay rooted in God's Holy Word and love His people well.
Look up Ephesians 5:14, Isaiah 51:17, Isaiah 52:1, Isaiah 60:1, Malachi 4:2, Romans 13:11

There is importance in knowing God's word.

If you are becoming, or are a full-time missionary, and need help with financial transactions, please consider talking to the folks at Modern Day. We met them at THE SEND in Orlando and they have an effective ministry, equipped with the financial information you will need going into missions full time.
While we do deal with initial finances associated with new missionaries, we try to lead full time missionaries to ministries that can better serve them as they look at longer term missionary budgets and financial decisions. Click here for their link |

Like for real, I've actually been used by GOD to heal someone!
This has only been possible by laying down others and my own opinion of myself and hearing the truth of who God says I am.”
I always thought that following God meant becoming boring, but I have never been as brave or adventurous as I am now.
I took a step in faith and started posting about Jesus on my Instagram.
Lecture phase was such a great experience. God showed up and revealed himself in so many new ways.
