I wanted to share an excerpt with you from "Stop Acting like a Christian, Just be One" by Christine Caine - "We get up and go through our well-rehearsed motions of existence; we check all our tasks off our lists and go to bed; we arise the next day and do it all over again. As Christians, we know that such a mundane existence falls far short of the abundant life Jesus came to give us. God did not create all of us with such creativity, cultural diversity and unique gifts and talents to simply go through the motions of a religious, boring life. As Christians, with the power of the Creator of the Universe inside of us, we should be living the most exciting, exhilarating lives on the planet! In the same way, a church that is going through the motions of "doing church" has missed the point of what God created her to be. God never intended for His church to be filled with empty ritual, boring and irrelevant teaching, uninspiring music or a lack of creativity. The Church of Jesus Christ ought to be dynamic, vibrant, life-giving - a place of hope, healing and destiny. Let's be that kind of church"

WOW! Chew on that one for awhile and see what prompting you receive from your Father.

Have a great day as we live in the boldness of God
Christie
