IN DESPERATE NEED OF A SAVIOR

We can never comprehend the containment of true love that was held captive in Christ’ heart. He lifted the burden of all of man kind and took the sins, the grief and the sorrow upon himself so that we might be redeemed and reconstructed for His Glory.

We don’t need Christ to fulfill our wants in this world, but rather our needs. Salvation is such a necessary need in this world but is taken for granted by the majority unless there is great distress or drama in our lives.

Scripture Reference:
Matthew 2:9-7

What drives you?

Last night I was at cell meeting (a community group meeting) at my church and I was really contemplating what drives me to be the guy that I am... the good and the bad. I was telling the guys, as they know, that I am one of those guys who can go in and get the crowd energized about whatever I am excited about. Whether it be a new business adventure, a trip or just motivation to do the normal things in life, I can make them sound exciting. My great battle with that is that I also know how to kill the crowd haha. I can get you to the peak of believing that what I am saying is actually going to go forward (funny enough is that I believe it too) and then in a week or month from now I would have dropped the idea all together. Haha, so I can be the hype-man and the next minute the letdown guy. That comes with it's benefits and setbacks and it's all part of the bigger picture.

We have to learn how to hone the gifts that Christ has given to us, and not condemn ourselves to failure in Him. He has made us this way for a reason and its not to keep it all to ourselves. Luk 12:48 "But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more"

Forgiven for our sinful nature...

I just can't believe how forgiven we are. Haha, as if there is any measure to the grace that God bestows upon those who follow after Him and choose His name. I am very blessed and I realize that I shouldn't have a leg to stand on (based on my past, doubt and faithfulness) but yet when I get on my knees and cry out to my Father that He hears my cry and is faithful to answer it. We serve an awesome God.
