Hello
Everyone,
The differences between a team
player and a Lone Ranger are clear:
Lone
Rangers hijack God’s glory.
Team
Players recognize their supporting role.
Lone
Rangers operate their way.
Team
Players operate God’s way and always end up being surprisingly blessed.
Lone
Rangers pride themselves on doing it alone.
Team
Players realize they are never alone and rejoice because of it.
It
may take courage to stand alone, but it takes wisdom to realize that you’re
never alone and faith to know that the POWER of God is enough.
You
cannot raise a happy, healthy, Christ-following family on your own.
You
will undoubtedly fail unless you recognize and rely on the total power
of God.
You
will fail if your agenda gets in the way of the surprisingly surpassing
POWER of God.
When
He shows up, He wants to do more than we can ask for or imagine.
The
key is that we still have to ask, and when we do, the motivation
has to be the glory of God in our lives and in the lives of others around us.
It
takes courage to live life like that. It takes courage to expect
God to be God without looking like a fool or failure.
Baal
never showed up. Can you imagine the disappointment?
It’s
one thing to have faith in something. It’s another to have faith in the right
thing.
1 Kings 18:21 Elijah
went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions?
If the Lord is
God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” But
the people said nothing.
The
word “waver” another translation says “hesitate” literally means to halt
or limp along.
How
long do you plan to hesitate?
How
much time do you need?
How
many sermons do you have to hear?
How
many warnings do you have to receive?
How
messed up does your kids need to be?
When
your life is over, will you have stood for anything?
If
you don’t decide then you have, in fact, decided.”
Our
time is NOW. It’s time to take the right stand and answer God’s call to
courageous living.
His POWER
is more than enough.
Greater
Things Are Still To Come!
Pastor Phil
