Lead by following

At our Friday morning leadership meeting, we were discussed standing out in our culture in ways that people would want to follow. This reminded Richie of a video from youtube that perfectly exemplifies how sometimes, its the followers who make the biggest impact.

Is God asking you to be a leader, or a follower? Or are you still sitting and waiting, wishing to be apart of the fun?

How is clear is your cup?

When Richie talked about the "muddy water" the other night, it got me to thinking: what does my hypothetical cup of water look like? If someone were to witness my everyday life, would they see someone through murky water or something a bit clearer?

The truth is, none of us can really be crystal clear. We all have dirt in our lives. Whether it's what we watch on TV, listen to on the radio, or even the friends we choose for ourselves, what we allow into ourselves affects what we let out. That being said, we are only human. Things happens and if we don't keep up on our time with God and committing ourselves to him, the "dirt" can slowly start to fill the proverbial cup that is symbolic of our life.

Despite that, there is indeed a perfect solution. By making it a point to turn off a movie that isn't appropriate or not listening to music that is unedifying, we are purifying ourselves, making us freer for God to use as He intended. If we do this--really and truly, not half-heartedly--God's love will flow into us and make us clearer, like water.

Scriptual Inspiration: "But whosoever drink of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." (John 4:10)

Song of the Night

After Fusion, Bethany was curious what whose cover of "Come Thou Fount" we played tonight.

The answer: Zach Williams. Not our pianist Zach Williams, but the professional paid musician.

I couldn't find a high quality video of him performing the song, but this should suffice...




Hope ya'll have a splendid week! Don't forget to be diligent in the little things!
