Day Two

Part of the problem with church. Majority have forgotten the Lordship of Jesus. We want to follow Jesus and keep our Jumbo Buffet of a life. That doesn't work.

Bob Briner said don't present a problem without presenting a solution

The solution

Bring Back the Following words that have become out of fashion: Holiness, Sanctification, City on a Hill, In the World but not of the World, Living Sacrifice, Law, Do the Right thing. And Be Like Jesus.

Teachers need to teach that Jesus wants to transform us. Students need to listen and begin the transformation process. Lent is a good time for this. I"m far from holy, perfect, sanctified. But I want to be. I want people to look at me and wonder how what why I'm better than I should be.

This is for God's Glory not mine. My definition of sanctification the other day was. God taking something in your life and turning it into something good for God.

Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

1 Peter 1:13-16

In other thoughts I have a hecka caffeine headache.

Day One

Yesterday became Day one of Lent. Ash Wednesday. The day for me although working was devoted to prayer, and thinking about sacrifice.

You are the mighty one
