We must delete the thought that church is the place where the lost hear about Jesus, BECAUSE IT ISN’T!  The lost needs to hear about Jesus from you!  It’s only after conversion that church is beneficial.  Because then you “go to get, not just to sit!!!”  All over the world weekend retreats, conferences, and camps are taking place….my thought today is “Will it matter?”  My hope is that it is the surge we need to get active!  Have a great week!

The same is true with our spiritual life.  There’s no way we can live up to our potential without God as our source. It doesn’t matter how bright and shiny you look, or how great your talents are, you’ll never measure up without HIM.  God is the Activator!  Everything comes alive when you really know God.   He wants to ACTIVATE your spirit to: long for him, grow in him, and believe Him.   Why? Because there are so many crazy truths God is waiting to share with you.

Focus Point: Activate motionless Christianity by making God your source.
