Sunday Mind Dump (Monday Edition)

Still nothing to blog about ministry wise so I am going to take a minute to talk about a great message in church yesterday. The church we've been hanging out at had a missionary from Poland in and he gave a killer message. It was all about not being afraid to go after what God is calling you to go after. One of his points was "If you're waiting for perfect conditions before you act, you'll be dead before you act." How true!

God calls us to do things in his time and for his purpose. We move based on that and not our ideal circumstances. How fitting. Whether the move is personal as in I need to do something or corporate meaning the church needs to do something....we move when he calls us, not when we're ready.

So let's dump about this principle a little:

• Maybe God is calling you to step up into a ministry role and you are waiting for somethinto happen first....stop waiting and do it.
• Maybe God is calling you to change careers, stop waiting for the perfect situation and do it.
• Perhaps God is calling your church to take new ground but your afraid finances are going to hold you back....take a step of faith and do what he's calling you to do and trust he'll provide.
• Maybe you've had a longing to start a family but you're waiting for the perfect job first, or building up more money...you'll never have enough of it...so just do it.

I could go on and on but the point is still the same....whatever it is step out in faith and go for it!
