Today was one of those days that even though I closed my office door to attempt at “getting ahead” or even “getting caught up” – still feel like I have more work to do on Friday when I get BACK into the office than when I first arrived this morning.
Interesting.
Good time @ theBOX tonight. When I say “good time”, I guess I mean that I shared my heart and hopefully that represents a “good time” for me consistently. To REALLY know if it was a “good time”, I guess you’d have to ask some of my teens…
Talked about being SOLD OUT for Christ tonight – took the example of the “rich, young ruler” and expounded. The “rich, young ruler” became the “average Christian teenager”. Instead of “wealth”, this “average Christian teenager” had music, friends, pornography, video games, and other things he wasn’t willing to give up – EVEN THOUGH he did all the “other stuff”. He read his Bible daily, came to “theBOX”, prayed, obeyed his parents, etc.
The point was that being SOLD OUT to Christ has LITTLE to do with RULE-FOLLOWING and MUCH to do with loving Christ with every ounce of being that we have. I think I got a little carried away near the end of the message – I was sweating like a pig…
Tomorrow will be a nice day-away. I’m planning on hanging with “Kirkage” and he’s going to help me buff-out the headlights on the Neon. They’re pretty weathered.
