AVOID SETTLING


Have you ever sat down in church and wondered if you were even in the right place? Did you spend an hour or two hours listening to readings and talks, but feel like your time would have been better spent somewhere else?

Well, if you haven't, I have.
Ministers and pastors have to puta lot of work into doing their jobs. They work with people all week, they handle the administration of the church, andsome pastors are also married. What do you think that means from week to week? It means that the true message, the powerful information, sometimesgets mucked up in the normal grind of life.

I'm not here to go on and on in acriticism of full-time pastors, but Ido believe in this: If a pastor does not produce a quality message on a regular basis...reconsider where you are spending your time. After doing church for years and years, I took some time off. I did a lot of reading, I created lots of projects,and when I was ready to come back, I did. Now, I was 18, and I would never suggest that anyone avoid church regularly, but the idea is normal. Just like businessmen need sabbaticals and leaves of absence, so too do people need to experience other messages. The most popular Christian denomination in the world, Catholicism, has several churches in every large market. If one priest does not work for you, switching is a piece of cake.

My point is that the message needs to do certain things, and ifit does not, then you are missing out on the main mission of Christianity: interpreting reality so that the power of Jesus shinesthrough EVERYTHING. People not only need to grasp the purpose of living, but they must experience the peaceful and powerful nature of God, now more than ever.
Please, if you are a person who feels like you are not benefiting from the Sabbath...SWITCH THINGS UP A LITTLE! I'm not telling you tostop going, but maybe there really is something that you are missing, and your current pastor is not providing it.

Don't accept a lukewarm message. Don't accept a pastor who is not passionate about being a pastor. God does not accept junk, and neither should you.

Facing Your Fears

Fear is the uneasy feeling that we are inadequate. It is an alarm that goes off when we feel threatened.It keeps people from the attainment of their goals. I’m not talking about normal, natural fears—such as the fear of falling or the fear of walking onto a busy highway. I’m talking about a gripping, paralyzing fear that is truly a spirit of fear. Paul wrote to Timothy, “God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline” ( 2 Tim. 1:7). Let me give you an example of this type of fear. Imagine a person who believes strongly that the Lord desires him to take a new job. He starts with confidence and enthusiasm. Soon he realizes that has much to learn about how to succeed in this new role. The whole project begins to seem insurmountable and overwhelming. He begins to take to heart the criticism of others. He feels as if he is a failure and will never succeed at this new position. He says, “I don’t have what it takes. I’m scared of taking any more risks.” Th...
