This weekend served as a reminder of the desperate state that our culture is in. I’ve reflected a lot tonight about the church and have concluded that more than ever our culture needs a strong, relevant church – but that is not what we find. And, people are more anemic than ever, facing more incredibly complex problems than I could ever imagine. The ultimate need obviously hasn’t changed: to surrender their lives to Christ and live for Him. God left Believers on the earth to help accomplish this task. I’m not sure about you, but I’m not doing all that is my part. Not sure what that means – it will take some time to figure it out. But, I’m committed to unpack it in my life. What about you – are you doing your part?

I’ve been reflecting a lot too since this weekend. One thing God showed me is that I don’t do very many things that are truly beyond me. My recent experience on Sunday really put me in a place of total surrender to God like I probably haven’t been in a long time. It was incredible to be “moved” to compassion to try to help someone hurting when I truly didn’t know what to do except what He was leading me to.
