This Got Me This Morning…

“As my friend Pete said a few weeks ago…God has NEVER asked any of us to do anything that is easy! However, laying aside our comforts and taking up the cross He leads us to take ALWAYS leads to a victory that we could never even imagine.” – Perry Noble

Actually the whole article is really good and hit me exactly where I’m at today. But this quote… wow…When God calls us to His mission, we can’t expect comfortable and easy. Anything worth being blessed with requires work and commitment on our end.

read the post, it’s awesome – then let me know what you think?

The Impact of Genuine-ness

Penn is an atheist who and an interesting interaction after one of his shows…

Seems like genuine-ness in relationship goes a really long way to making an impact on an atheist – What he had to say was convicting but true. “How much do you have to hate someone not to share with them about eternal life and Heaven vs Hell…” Wow, Ouch… How many times have I not said something because i was too embarrassed – putting my own self interest in front of their eternal destiny… Wow…

I also noticed he reference “He looked me in the eyes…” It seemed that that added to the genuine-ness of his concern for penn… interesting – Do I (we) do that when we talk to people?

One more thing, read this quote a week ago “People don’t care about what you know, until they know how much you care…” – seems to fit here…
