are you bored?

“Walk into most churches in America, have a look around, and ask yourself this question: What is a Christian Man? Don’t listen to what is said, look at what you find there. There is no doubt about it. You’d have to admit a Christian man is….bored.” John Eldredge

Yet, our God is anything but boring. Our God is a God of judgment and war in Judges, a God of purpose and rebuilding in Nehemiah, a God of creativity in Genesis, a God of Kings in I & II Samuel, a God of Love in I Corinthians, and a God of Sacrifice on the Cross. He has risen up the most common and meek of men like Gideon and Jephthah to be Mighty Warriors delivering His people from bondage. He has decimated nations that have sought to destroy His chosen people. He delivered David from Goliath and blessed Solomon as the wisest King to ever live. He drove the money changers out of the temple, and called the Pharisees a “brood of vipers”.

Be proud, stand strong and live a life of adventure and purpose. Stand when your heart says stand. Speak out when you know it is right. Be bold and speak truth. Fight for the honor of your God. Be men of courage as Christ was courageous.

When you find yourself on the presuppose of decision, your heart is racing, your chest pounding, and you feel the Holy Spirit pulling, don’t hesitate, LEAP, for it is then that you will come alive and your heart will be re-born.
