New Habits

As a church, what kind of people are we going to be? The saddest
Christian in the world is the one who only seeks God
half-heartedly or casually. That person cannot enjoy sin anymore
because they know it’s wrong but will not experience any of the
joy and fulfillment of the gospel because they are not all in
with Jesus. Remember Jeremiah’s statements? Those who seek God
wholeheartedly will be in for the adventure of their lives. Those
who are half-hearted and compromise will live a life of pain and
separation from the goodness of God. When we look at the gospel,
it is hard not to be moved by the goodness of God and hunger to
know him better. The only way we will genuinely reach this world
for Jesus one person at a time is by laying a foundation of
faithful connection to God through day-in, day-out spiritual
discipline. This world needs something real. They need SOMEONE
real. They need Jesus. The more connected we are with him, the
more people will see him shining through our lives. God loves you
and wants to be in deep community with you. Will you create the
space? Will you let him in?
