Things to START doing:
- Praying with others much more often
- Talking about God with people much more often, whether they're Christians or not
- Spending more time acticvely serving God and others
- Truly believing that God is all-mighty and powerful
- Surrendering in all ways to God
Things to STOP doing:
- Spending so much time and money on looks, clothes, hair, etc.
- Spending so much money on self-entertainment
- Serving self way more often than serving God or others
- Ignoring the opportunities God lays out
- Holding back from living new life
All reasonable-and-not-that-radical things when you think about it as a true child of God. Hopefully there are more people out there who are ready and willing to start living out faith more fully and wholly. I'm definitely still staying at the edge and dipping my feet in right now, but I'm ready to go in all the way. And all of these things can be done here, now, in the lives we have. We don't have to get up and move to another country, we don't have to sell everything we have, we don't have to change everything we do, just the way we do it. We can give up our own selfish goals, habits, fears and gain a new life full of new pursuits, actions, and hope. Let's get these weights that we've grown so accustomed to off of our chests and let our hearts beat at full strength for our Savior and Lord.

I'm definitely with you on this one Arch. And from an accountability perspective, I'm definitely willing to be with you because 1) Christian fellowship and accountability is pretty much in God's plan and 2) I know I couldn't do it alone so I would love your help. :)
ReplyDeleteLet's be radical! or. real.
Let's be real. surrendered and active.
Wow arch.. this is awesome and so very true! Im definitely with you on this. I know this will definitely be a challenge for all of us, but we will prevail. God will help us and always provide and give us strength when we surrender fully to Him. :)
