I dont want to be luke warm. I want to be on fire. Sometimes, looking at my life really scares me. Im not bold, Im not very kind a lot of the time, Im kinda lazy and not really that faithul. Thanks for the sermon today Ben.
Sometimes, it feels like because Christianity is not new, like it has had a couple of thousand years to sink into peoples head and into the routine of like, that for a large part it has become complacent. Imagine being around when Jesus came, seeing him heal the sick, raise the dead, save the sinners. Imagine the freshness of not being chained to the law which could never fully erase sin. But me, Ive heard about JEsus all my life, its like Ive always known that he was there.
I'm getting a new Bible, with no underlining, and no study materials and I am going to read it. I am going to reaquaint myself with the Jesus who walked on water, feed 5000, and loved enough to give himself for me.
I dont want to be lukewarm, I want to be on fire. I want to not be able to shut about the greatness of Jesus. I dont want to be just some "good" person who doesnt drink and curse and who goes to church on Sunday. I want to be in love with Jesus.
