Challenge Everything


DO you find when Things like missions trips, Campus min. outreaches, Sunday morning celebrations.... come about you have SO much faith for God to work? But when it comes to involve you, maybe your faith is tested? Maybe you begin to doubt your own capabilities, your own strengths, creativity. Maybe you don't feel "called" or "adequate" or as "important" as those evangelists/missionaries you see sharing the Gospel day after day on the street corners downtown. Maybe you are being held back because you have come to the conclusion that you don't know God as well as you thought, you don't know His word, you don't understand his truth.

BE ENCOURAGED Friend! We in our weakness are not going to have all the answers to God's word! We will fall short of the Glory of God, simply because of our own sin. When we are challenged by a question we might not know the answer to, its OK. It is far better to humble oneself in the knowing that we don't "know everything" than to boast in the falsity of our own knowledge. Your humility will draw those who Christ is calling through the Spirit's work of humility in you, to Himself. YOU CAN NOT DO THIS IN AND OF YOURSELF!!! By God's own grace and by His awesome timing he uses us for HIS glory. Don't be deceived its not for your glory, or my glory, its HIS glory, and HIS glory alone.

You will find that with Christ you have everything, He fills all those inadequacies. Get to know him, and you'll find that he's the source of everything you hold dear.
