What burns you?

I was messing around with my wife's new camera and shot this really interesting picture, I hope you like it.

So the question what burns you can have many answers right? Let's go from the standpoint of your walk with God. For many of us the people in the church burn us with discouraging words, disheartening looks, and of course lack of acknowledgment. How about leadership (i.e. staff, elders, deacons) in the church; they can burn us from moral failure, lacking spiritual zeal, no depth, not visiting, not singing your favorite song, change, acknowledgment, asking for commitment, etc.

You see all of the list above are things that burn us away from spiritual depth with Christ, but the true question is what burns you for Christ?

Many of you have had those sad experiences happen to you in your lifetime that have caused you to walk away or stray. Remember faith isn't measured merely on men, its between us and God. Think back to that day when you accepted Christ for the first time at church camp or church; what was that burning sensation like. You were unstoppable. On fire. But life happens and we get our fires put out. Think today for a moment in your Church or our Church who has put your fire out? Its time for you to step up and BLAZE a trail for the glory of God, its not time to sit back any longer. (que Braveheart theme music)

Hey Church people did you hear me...FIGHT

Oh the daily grind

Well it has been a few days since I traveled 12,000 miles across the world and I can say that I am about to be back on track. Over the last several days I have been in a bit of a daze which is expected. It has taken a little bit longer to get a move on with life, ministry, and myself...I suppose I just need to suck it up. Since I have been back I have hit the ground running full steam ahead. Still I am in a fog. Expected. Over the past several weeks things have really changed in my mind, things that I can't share right now. But coming home to conversations and catch up has been sad. I would just ask that you throw a prayer or two up for my family and its surroundings. This sadness has definitely caused it to be more difficult to move forward. Unexpected. Can't really suck it up. Please pray as the summer leaps upon my family and I, that I stay in control of that schedule.

Until another day...LZ
