The Most Important Thing You Could Possibly Say Today

May 22, 2013 — Leave a comment

The most important thing you could possibly say today isn’t:

“I am an employee.”
“I am a student.”
“I am retired.”

It’s not:

“I am a VIP.”
“I am the Valedictorian.”
“I am a Gold Card member.”

It’s not even:

“I am a spouse.”
“I am a mother.”
“I am a grandfather.”

The most important thing you could possibly say today is in Psalm 116:16.

In Discipleship discipleship, glory, Life, LORD, meaning, purpose, sacrifice, servant, service

Rising Above Lukewarm Christianity

May 21, 2013 — Leave a comment

In Revelation 3:14-22, Jesus diagnosed Christians in Laodicea as “lukewarm.” In light of the call of 2 Corinthians 13:5, our question is a practical one: what does lukewarm Christianity look like? Why is it dangerous? And if I’m struggling with a lukewarm mindset, how can I rise above it?
