I saw this the other day at Wal-Mart. A simple, “smokin’ hot” fix for a broken tail light.
Pretty redneck, but it works I guess. But I don’t want to produce things that just “work.”
It made me think about excellence. I have always defined excellence as “doing the best you can with the resources God has given you.”
Since moving to start Revolution Church, I have changed my understanding a little bit. Now, excellence is “doing the most outstanding and creative job you can with what God has given you.”
Two weeks ago, we had people walk up to the front at the end of church and write the names of lost people that they are praying for. We also encouraged them to not just pray, but to do something about their concern for these people and invite them.
Already we have had several powerful stories pouring in to the office.
So more than anything, just a reminder:
Cancer is a horrible thing for someone to experience. Losing a family member is hard. Broken relationships will eat you up inside. There are all kinds of things I could list as “the most horrible things in the world.”
But NOT ONE of those things, as terrible as they are, compare to when someone dies not having a relationship with Jesus Christ.
We’re putting the lists up each week in the lobby so we can see the names and add to them until Easter. When the people that you are praying for and inviting come to church, you can take them up to their name and show them how much you wanted them there. We want everyone to celebrate what God is doing to change lives!
Check out the powerful video below from a couple of weeks ago as the lists were written out!
