Why do make church so difficult?

Have you ever stopped to wonder why we make church so difficult? Why church seems to be about all we do instead of what he does through us? Is it possible that that we have been trying to use the Holy Spirit instead of the Holy Spirit using us? This year I am committing to make church simpler. Isn't that what Jesus did when he the pharisees came to him and asked, What is the greatest commandment of all? He narrowed it from more than 650 rules and regulations surrounding the 10 Commandments to 2. We are going to follow the simple church suggestion: Let's make our purpose and our process the same: Loving God, Loving Others, and Serving The World! If you are following this blog, know that we are going moving forward with Mission Clinton. Follow along. It truly will move us from using the Holy Spirit to being use BY Holy Spirit.

How Are You Serving God?

I really think that Rick Warren is correct in that we all have a unique SHAPE that helps us to serve Him. How are you serving God? Have you stopped to think about if you are serving God out of your unique SHAPE? Have you discovered your passion? your ability? Are you serving God in your joy spot? So tell us, what do you see your shape and how are you serving God using that?

Does God still talk to us today?

We all hear people saying that God told them this or that. How does He do that? Has He spoken to you? How did He do it? How do you know? Is there anyone willing to take on this thought?
