“In order to reach those who no one else is reaching, we have to do things that no one else is doing.” Craig Groeschel, Senior Pastor, LifeChurch.tv.
I have been asking God a lot of questions since LifePoint’s first meeting. I mean a lot of questions. God is flat out amazing. He has talked to to me in every way imaginable since I started asking Him questions Friday night… and I have been focused on His voice.
Yesterday I was doing some research on the Leadership Summit and I saw the above quote from Craig Groeschel (btw Stevens Creek is a satellite for this conference).
KABOOM!!! God opened my ears, my eyes, my heart, my mind, my soul… you name it, and God poured more of His desires into me.
It is time for some change in Aiken, Augusta, the CSRA, the world and LifePoint WILL help LEAD the charge.
There are many life-giving, life-changing, life-sustaining churches and ministries in our world (locally and globally) but it is time for LifePoint to start doing things that no one else is doing so we can reach those who no one else is reaching.
IT IS TIME TO COME OUT OF THE BOX FOR JESUS!!!
LifePoint will PRAY like no other ministry has ever prayed. LifePoint will SAY THINGS that no other ministry will say. LifePoint will DO THINGS that no other ministry will do. LifePoint will LOVE like no other ministry loves. LifePoint will do whatever God asks of us without fear!!!
LifePoint’s desire, our goal, our mission, is to reach people with the love and salvation of Jesus Christ.
You may argue that that is every church’s desire, but I ask you:
Are there still people in our communities that don’t know the love of Jesus?
Are there still people living a life that they cannot stand to live?
Are there still marriages out there ready to fall apart this very day if God doesn’t step in?
Are there still single people out there crying themselves to sleep in loneliness?
Are there still children going to bed hungry?
Are there still parents out there that are afraid to send their children to school in a few weeks because they are afraid their child may be caught up in school violence?
Are there still problems in the world that MUST be addressed by the Church of Jesus Christ?
The answer is to all of the above questions is a resounding YES!!! and Jesus has asked you and me to do something about it.
LifePoint… IT IS TIME FOR SOME CHANGE… and this change can only take place with JESUS!!!
