No Excuses

It has been too long ...

I noticed that my readership has hit the 1,000,000 reader mark.
Anyways, i will recommit myself to faithfully blog, if you will be faithful to respond ....
Thanks Jason ...
Joy, are you reading this? / Maybe my grandma or at least my own mother takes a minute or two to check out her son's blog. I digress ...

We are going to talk about our shape on Sunday mornings for the next couple of months. I am excited about this series of sermons because I believe that far too many of us are lazy Christians and only want to know how the church can serve us.

I desire to be a part of a Church where the entire congregation is involved in ministry
I desire to be a part of a Church where membership means something, other then sitting in a pew once a week for an hour and a half
I desire to be a part of Church where people are serving in and through their God given shape and design
I desire to be a part of a Church where people are doing things that they are actually gifted to do and not just put in a role because they are breathing and are on the right side of the grass
I desire to be a part of a Church where people inside the Church are burdened for people who are not part of the family of God yet
I desire to be a part of a Church where the goal is proclamation of the Gospel message, instead of protectors or people who want to just conserve the message.

What kind of Church do you want to be part of?
(Probably a Church that had a half decent pastor, right)


Thanks for your support and passion to see God's work progress in this area of His Kingdom
