For today’s blog I want to share just a few quotes from last Sunday’s message:

John declares that the only fence between believer and unbeliever is like a razor. You can’t sit on it! You have to come down on one side or the other. John sees no gray area in the life of a believer. Like being a little bit pregnant, you are or you aren’t. And if you are, there is new life! That life is growing. (1Corinthians 3:18[notes1] )

When you find freedom in Jesus to walk away from your selfish desires and live a life of love, then Jesus has destroyed the work of the devil in your life.

Real Christianity is not hype, nor the spectacular; it is just the dying to self to love others. That is being like Christ! (John 13:14-15[notes2] )

Obedience can’t be the lever with which we pry God into giving us what we want. Rather, love is the motivation that causes us to ask what pleases Him.

2 Cor 3:18 (NIV)

[notes2] 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. John 13:14-15 (NIV)

What a great Sunday! Our sister Darcy sang Breath of Heaven better than the radio version. Moving! I kept thinking how we are all like Mary. Who are we that God should move in and make us His home? We are all a bit like Mary wondering why He would choose us, if we are up to the task, and what if we fail? But there is the breath of heaven, the Kohl YHWH, directing us, encouraging us and giving us hope because He is Immanuel, and with God all things are possible. He is so great that He can even use me.
