God is working

God is working! That's really all I can say right now. As I look at what He is doing at LifeQuest Church all I can say is "God is Working". Of course the analytical people want to know 'How is He working?' So I thought I would give my point of view.

1. We are a bunch of broken people. I said this on Sunday and I will say it again, "NO PERFECT PEOPLE ALLOWED" PERIOD. I am sick and tired of people coming to churches and trying to make the pastor, staff and congregations think they are better when the the reality is that we are all messed up. If you don't believe me read Romans 3:23. I love what Jimmy Dodd, a friend of mine, says, "Chris, you are worse than you say that you are." BUT he goes on to say, "You are more loved by God than you can ever imagine." I don't believe God ever uses people til they are broken. FYI, there is a difference between confidence in God and broken. That's for another day.

2. We are passionate about reaching the people that are far from God! I love it when I hear stories of how people are starting to bring their unchurched family members and friends. One guy brought 12 people on Sunday and says he's bringing more this weekend. I believe that God honors people who get serious about sharing their faith.

3. We are praying more than we ever have... more to come on this one. All I can say now is for the first five years of the church, we didn't pray hardly at all. That's my fault and I own it. God is rocking my world in the area of prayer. I love Jesus more today than I did last year.
