ONE RED PILOT

I’m sitting at Starbucks in Birkdale Village catching up on blogs, growing my addiction to Viva la Vida, and trying to shake the Church hangover with a Double Shot on Ice. As I sit here it’s hitting me so hard how much these people need a real hardcore Jesus shot. The mom who continues to speak to her son through gritted teeth is showing her disgust with life and needs to know Jesus is her man and her sons daddy. The girl who walked in showing way to much of herself at 9:30 in the morning needs to hear how beautiful Jesus thinks she is and that she doesn’t need to dress like that to gain the attention of guys who will continue to destroy her self-worth. The 25 year old guy who is wearing a suit and tie hoping to land his next sales pitch so he’ll look “successful” to his old man, but inside all he wants to do is rip off that tie, jump back in his 4runner, and disappear into the woods to go hiking needs Jesus to tell him that life is way more important than success in the eyes of man.

So how does Jesus get to these people to tell them? Me and You…

2 Timothy 1:7-8, “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord…”

Do I need to jump up on my table and start preaching the Gospel…no, but i would if God wanted me to! I’m Jesus’ hands and feet. It’s my responsibility to be ready at all times to tell people about Him…

Jesus make me as ready as a soldier to war and fight for the expansion of Your Kingdom. If You’re going to work a miracle in the lives of any of these people…work it through me!!

I pray this same prayer for you…
