It's a new year! How much longer will He let this place linger?
This is the perfect time to be alive. We face heavy-duty obstacles for certain. But we know the Force behind authentic life that can blast through like a plow through snow.
2010 promises to be full of highlights and lowdarks. It is encouraging to me that nations around the globe turned their calendars at midnight in testimony that two-thousand and ten years ago our Lord Jesus was born. I think it is pretty spectacular for the atheists to join in with us on this truthful matter.
The church should be very energized by the opportunities we face. May we put a dent in homelessness and hunger. May we sacrifice our wages and our securities for the greatest cause on earth.....spreading the Word to the world.
I believe the kingdom is the most fascinating system ever. It is full of strangeness as well baffling mystery. Too many claiming to be in the believers circle have settled for a faith which operates off of the clock, the calendar, the checkbook, and the heart's ease. Mystique has been abandoned. Safety and defensiveness have kicked the legs of outreach from too many members...too many congregations.
Our work is wrapped up in the person of Jesus. Should we pray more maybe we will fret less. Should we worship more possibly we will see greater blessings flow from on high. The Father is watching for the code-word. When He hears the code-word, He responds. It is "Jesus". Don't forget it in 2010.
It is now the day after the night before. Some are hung over because of being drunk. May 2010 cause some to accuse us of being drunk in the Spirit of Christ.
