We must go!

June 30, 2008

This is my first post and my first quiet time since returning from our annual M-Fuge youth camp.  I watched in awe and excitement as the Holy Spirit convicted souls of our youth this week.  Jesus became real to several of our kids this week.  They are now new creations in Christ, covered by the blood of Jesus, forgiven of their sins and heaven bound!!

Many things stood out as we worshipped and listed to the camp pastor last week. 

2 Corinthians 5:21 hit me for the very first time.  I have quoted it everyday since hearing it.

“God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” NIV

This sacrifice by our Savior, Jesus, gives us the freedom to go out and be intentional.  We are able to share the burden-lifting, peace-giving love of Christ by our daily actions.

Our smiles, our encouragement, our hugs and our desire to help people.

When was the last time you told someone (brother, sister, children, grandchildren, parents, pastor, etc) that you were “proud of them?”

Try to encourage someone today and watch their “eyes light up!”

I heard a new last week that keeps ringing in my head…it’s titled “We Must Go.”  

Pay special attention to the plea, “keep us from just singing.”

Have a great day and be intentional.  Make a difference for someone today!!!!!!

Romans 10:14-15 The Message

“14-17But how can people call for help if they don’t know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven’t heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it? That’s why Scripture exclaims,

   A sight to take your breath away!
   Grand processions of people
      telling all the good things of God!”

Romans 10:14-15

“14How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

This has a great message about reaching people.  The lost are searching….they are reaching….they are hurting….they are needing a touch from the Master……are we in tears from these lost souls..

Take a few minutes to listen and reflect on this video…
