wow. two in one day. im on fire.

The one thing we canNOT be. The one thing we are WAY too often. Is lukewarm. You know that feeling between flaming, red, hot. A passionate heat. And dead, lifeless cold. Yeah. Lukewarm. "I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth." Revelation 3:16-17. I think the worst part about being lukewarm, besides being SPIT OUT by Jesus, is that, while we glorify God with our lips we dishonor him with our lifestyle. It's perhaps one of the most detrimental things to the church we can do. Instead of this, our lives should be a burning example of Jesus Christ in everything we should do. His word should be like a fire in us, "...Then in my heart it becomes like a burning, Shut up in my bones; And i am wearing of holding it in, And i cannot endure it." Jeremiah 20:9. We should NOT be able to hold it in. It should just come out. And more often than not, we don't. So a challenge for you! This week, or rather everyday, do something that just makes you consumed by the Holy Spirit. Something that makes you burn for jesus. Do it!

sneak peak of sorts

I am no good with words.
I never have been.
But the thing is.
I won't be.
He is.
