If you've never heard that Gospel or you Gospel sucks feel free to jump in with us in discovering King Jesus and how He is moving on the earth.
happy monday...don't forget the bliss of salvation...and that God thought that it was a good idea to die for your, and then fill you with all of Himself...
running my dome this morning on giving the Kingdom the greatest priority in my life...its a bit challenging as im prone to distraction...but ran through Colossians today and am greatly encouraged by chapter 3 and specifically verse 10...
I can put on the new self (receive Holy Spirit/salvation etc. read the first 10 verses of the chapter) and be renewed in the image of God. It's like I have an opportunity to be renewed in every aspect of the reality of the Gospel. Putting all other things into context under the bigness, or soverignty, or faithfulness of God being alive and active in my life today. And its not that God needs to compete with my distraction, but when reminded of the image of the creator, it puts all the distractions and 'good' things into their place under the Lordship of Jesus in my life.
I think i need some renewal...so I am going to be tapping that today as their are always free refills in the Kingdom - get some

Be vigorous and aware of your connection to heaven

To a degree, we can add some churchy language to situations in our lives and make everything seem dandy - try and manage or control the externals around us so that people around us have the idea that we have great lives. And we will all see just how long we can hold that up...
But really whats the driver in your soul. And how will that end? Is it monies? health? reputation? Trying to work out the grind of life so that I feel secure, satisfying my internal need for whatever the thing is.
A free heart has no need for external validation, no need to be proven, it experiences the fire of life and is out on display come what may. Its proof of trust in a God that is in control.
Check proverbs 17.3
Then check out Phil 2. ...
a pretty good indicator of your thoughts and attitudes getting the day going.
That first thing, first word could be to a family member, a text, an email, a co worker, the coffee barista...irregardless take a moment and look at it.
Most of us, myself included have some sort of routine greeting informed by our experiences, culture, friends around us - its generally trite, creating minimal connection, and continues us on our day.
My invitation is to spend that moment with intention and allow Hebrews 3:1-14 to guide you. That first word could be so much more...
The author is giving a recount of the Israelites allowing their hardness to be. He runs the hardening through the redemption of hope in Christ, and then challenges us to understand we are no different than the Israelites apart from Christ.
And then verse 13...the solid therefore. take a moment and read it.
The exhortation is not a trite you can do it, but a calling of the reminder of the hope in the Cross, the person of Jesus, the ...
