Hey guys...I have been so out of the blogging world. I am like constantly doing stuff...I often feel like I am more busy now than during the Christmas season when I was convinced that life couldn't get busier! Well it has! But...I wanted everyone to share what has been happening in your (respective) lives. (Please don't share about what's going on in other's lives as they are the ones who are supposed to share it!) Enunciate (a great word Eric uses ALL the time) the steps you have taken to apply what God taught you.
I'll go first, I told my session that God was calling me to be a voice of reform to the western church. Since I was a worship leader at a church I had an immediate platform. Thus, I have sought to unashamedly proclaim God's truth and life changing power to my congregation. There's been some neat responses. However, God clearly challenged me to take it to a new platform. I realized that I had been faithful with the church he's given me, but possibly he wanted to give me a larger voice (insert panic here). As I talked with the pastor, we decided that our church had grown rather comfortable and needed to "send out" one of our own to begin implementing our desire to be (as he coined it) a dangerous church. We decided I should move on from my position there so I could pursue these things God has given me. Therefore, I am starting a bible study/pioneer group. Also, God is opening some incredible doors with my music and I am so excited to get into churches/retreats/concerts and be able to proclaim the gospel in its fullness to the Church. I could go on into all the nitty gritty details (of which I am unsure of many). But one thing I do...forgetting what is behind....and pressing forward to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me! So that's what is going on for me...how about ya'll (to translate for anyone north of like missouri: you all). Let's celebrate God's empowering grace in our lives!
For His Renown

Praise the Lord, Ben! This was great to initiate everyone sharing...as iron sharpens iron.:-)
Continuing to pray for your refinement, growth, humility, impact, and Christ's power in you. May He encourage you with what He is already at work in you to do.
A thought hit me today - I must be humble and broken, but I will not be INSECURE before my God. His promises are sure and His desire for HIS glory and life in/ through us is CERTAIN, so therefore we can truly approach in confidence.
May you ask for more and may you become increasingly acquainted with His fullness, Brother!
