Kris Vallotton has been rocking my world recently. i would highly recommend listening to his sermons (free on itunes, and hes funny :)..
Something he just said on a sermon actually made me want to write this post. the sermon is called "apostleship". He said "we cant just sit around polishing our crowns. you can tell how close someone is to the throne by how they act towards injustice" and that makes so much sense. we sit around talking about how awesome Jesus is when we havent even truly tasted and seen His goodness. were just basing our "salvation" off the wedding instead of the marriage. the marriage is when we actually fight the good fight. we live out what it means to even be a christian. we love the Lord with our whole heart. we bask and worship in His presence. we love and forgive people (even the unlovable) with everything we can sacrifice, including our thoughts about them. we bring heaven to earth! we tend to the poor, we listen to those hurting, we heal the blind and the deaf, we go into the darkness. and we are filled with JOY all the time by being led by the Holy Spirit! this is what life is!
it doesnt make sense to be born, say the acceptance words of Christ, be baptized, live the rest of your life with those close to you, and then die.
wouldnt a Lord who put such amazing detail into the creation of this earth be able to come up with a more fulfilling plan for our life then just that?! He loves us! he doesnt want us to have a meaningless life!
