Disturb Me

This is copied from Ambs' (our 23 year old daughter) pastor's blog (Mark Batterson of National Community Church). It will mess you up!:

DISTURB ME

When Craig Groeschel spoke at the Buzz Conference I thought it was the most powerful conference session I've ever heard. He shared the same message at Catalyst today and I needed to hear it twice. Actually I need to hear it a lot more than that! If you weren't here you've got to get your ears on the message!

First things first, I love the two prayers I've heard the last two days. Both of them are two word prayers. Rick Warren shared what he said was the most dangerous prayer. And Craig shared the other one this morning. I love both of them. They are going to become prayer mantras in my life.

So simple. So powerful. Here are the three thoughts Craig shared. He talked about practical atheism. That is when we believe in God but we do life as if God doesn't exist.

Here is what happens when we become practical athiests:

1) We believe our effort is more important than God's power!

2) We believe our private life doesn't effect our public ministry.

3) We believe we must please people more than we must please God.

(This is Nonnie/Lauren again.......THINK ABOUT IT and allow God to show you old ways of thinking, and then to transform your ways and your thoughts into HIS ways and HIS thoughts!).

GO GOD!

God's love & mine,
