A Bad Sermon Is Like A Car

If Ever There Were A True "just As I Am" Church, If Ever There Were A Community Where Everybody Could Bring All Their Baggage And Brokenness With Them Without Neat And Tidy Happy Endings Quite Yet, If Ever There Was A Group Where Everyone Was Loved And No One Pretended - We Could Not Make Enough Room Inside The Building.

"sometimes In Churches Somebody Will Discover A Particular Vein Of Spirituality And Seek To Recruit Others Into It, Or Assume A Superior Position Because They Have Found Certain Techniques - But No One Actually Wants To Become Like Them."

Many Christians Expend So Much Energy And Worry Trying Not To Sin. The Goal Is Not To Try To Sin Less. In All Your Efforts To Keep From Sinning, What Are You Focusing On? Sin. God Wants You To Focus On Him. To Be With Him. “abide In Me.” Just Relax And Learn To Enjoy His Presence. Every Day Is A Collection Of Moments, 86,400 Seconds In A Day. How Many Of Them Can You Live With God? Start Where You Are And Grow From There. God Wants To Be With You Every Moment.

If You Want To Do The Work Of God, Pay Attention To People. Notice Them. Especially The People Nobody Else Notices.

Everybody Wears An Unseen Sign That Reads: Inspire Me. Remind Me That My Life Matters; Call Me To Be My Best Self; Appeal To Whatever In Me Is Most Noble And Honorable. Don't Let Me Go Down The Path Of Least Resistance. Challenge Me To Make My Life About Something More Than The Acquisition Of Money Or Success
