Thanks, Michael.

So how do I know if I’m putting the gospel to the ground and putting flesh and hands and feet to the World? Well, the answer keeps coming back, it’s not the easy way, the path of least resistance. If it’s uncomfortable and sacrificial, then that’s a good indicator. Here’s praying that we will all be faithful and obedient in our resolve to be salt and light in a world that is dying.

yes this is life – true life – I do attest to it –

and its fun , fullfilling -a veritable feast spiritually–

I get paid in spiritual dollars every day walking in his footsteps–condemned by others ? Sure, but my armour is strong, He is mighty in me

Its a little depressing tho to be walking among so many dead people knowing their destination so thats why I commend you for your wise stirring words that raised my spirit a little bit

RIght on! So appreciated at this time. It’s good to be reminded that my world has changed/is changing, not in a splashed “on a billboard” way but rather at the core of my being which will hopefully and eventually permeate everything that I do. Small steps.

Somedays, it’s just good to hear “it really did happen”.

Thank you for this message. I wonder if we as Christians ask ourselves, “What am I going to do differently in the new year, that will have a greater impact for Christ?”. We really don’t know how much time we will have. How soon is Christ’s return?

Michael,

Thank you for the powerful challenge. I especially enjoyed your comments on being a witness. So many of us have allowed this to become a matter of technique and formula when in reality it is mainly an outflow of an incarnational life lived in and before the world (Matthew 5:15-16).

God’s Blessings to you and your family for the coming year.

Awesome! Great challenge for the new year, and much to chew on!

Glad that I was where I was today, but FPC London would’ve been a great 2nd choice.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I was reading Peter Enns blog a while back and he also talked about how we live in a post-Christian world. So many people today simply have no idea who Christ is and what he has done for us.

Reading this really convicted me. Do I live like Jesus Christ is king?
