it's time to come out of the comfort zone

Aug 04, 2005 23:09

why are so many of us afraid to get in each other's faces when we know that they are doing around? why is it that such a simple question as "how is your walk with Christ lately?" such a hard question to ask? why do we not challenege our fellow brothers and sisters to become better in Christ and live a Godly lieves ( Read more... )

Not Waving, But Drowning

PS- it's awesome that u have this new conviction, maybe you can become a spark that creats a fire that will burn away the apathy in our hearts.

with God's power and strength... hopefully i will no long be a slave to my comfort zone and finally step out and just be obedient to what God is calling me to do...

i don't want to be afraid any longer that i migth hhurt their feelings or make them dislike me... i want to love them and challenge them to be better... i would rather wound them at first so they can grow stronger and better in Christ... than continue to sit here and let them continue drowning

Proverbs 27:6

"Wounds from a sincere friend are better than manny kisses from and enemy."

yay :)
sunday! it's happening.
satan will no longer rule over our thoughts, keeping us from doing what we are called to do.

thank you again :)

p.s. also with the whole drowning deal i was thinking about how it can be for non-christians too. and we've talked about this before but it's a life or death matter and we're just letting them slip away when they could have amazing LIFE forever with an almighty wonderful God.

silly us, it's time for explosions (in the sky) haha :)

P>S>!!
last night! i almost forgot but i was thinking about that stuff and i was going to do my quiet times and i dunno why but i just felt like God was calling me to read Romans 8...which is really random because i've been reading through the Bible and am in Exodus but anyhoots. anddd there were some verses that we could share on Sunday with them!
i was like gee golly God you are so awesome!

and i could've emailed this to you but whatever i'm already on here. :) ...and it goes to your email! hah :)
anyway sorry blehh :) and i think it was Romans 8:5... and beyond! :) go check it out.
i mean there's definitely a bunch more that are probably maybe better for the situation i dunno but meh it's a start!
and i'm excited sorry
okay bye now

amazing! that is truly God right there! and there's nothing the devil can do to stop us when we look to God for the strength to do what HE has called us to do! I like how when we finally set a date and realized that we couldn't do this on our own... and when we gave it over to God... that God blesses you with amazing scripeture that we can share with them.. and i really like vs. 12-14 too...

wonderful how God works :)

thats something i've been going through as well. the problem i seem to run into is when people react negatively towards the challenge. like when asking about their spiritual lives, they believe im judging them. it's quite the quandry. its really neat that God gave you this conviction, and right now its serving as a reminder to me to always stay in His Word with thoughts of Him at all times.
