Nuggets #18

I've been doing better the last couple of days. Thank you for your prayers.

An Unstoppable Force by Erwin McManus
Continuing on . . .

A Sticky Situation
When being a church attendee is not a culturally expected responsibility, a person who attends but does not begin to serve will drop out within a year. If people begin to serve, they stick. If a person is simply being served, it is highly unlikely that person will make it in the long-term.

Consumed-Communion
We must become relevant and reverent. Worship must become the meeting place between the eternal and the contemporary. We tend to love the altar so much that we refuse to set it on fire. Yet God comes in the flames. Our God is a consuming fire.

Our hearts must find passion for those things that enflame the heart of God.

Imagine This
The future leaders of this world will come from somewhere. Shouldn't it be the church?

This reminds me of Huckabee. Wouldn't it be great if we had another full-of-faith man as President, and he came from a church! Here's a clip showing how he responded to a question on evolution/creation during a Republican Debate. This is great!
