GospelFest 2011: Performing not Transforming

Image
Coming from 2 Corinthians 10 today! GospelFest 2011! I went in with a mindset that we were on assignment by God to be a presentation of Praise and ministry. There was no expectation to place nor win the competition because our ministry doesn't believe the Holy Spirit can compete with The Holy Spirit as we Christians are all a part of the body of Christ and we work together for His purpose. (I could shout off of that right there! Amen, Lord, Hallelujah!) We prepared for the "competition" like we would prepare for Sunday service. We engaged in Bible Study, group prayer, and lastly we got up on stage, sang our song, giving forth our praises to God and we were out. No frills, no sensationalising, no spirit of competition, we just did what we do, staying true to our ministry. I believe that's what our mission was. To be an example of Christ. After all, we are a TRANSFORMING choir and not a PERFORMING choir. Certainly God will say Well Done! Let this Word bless you! 2 Corin...

I'm a Slave for You - Not to be confused with Britney!

Coming from Romans 6:15-23 today! I'm a slave to being upright and walking the Christian life. It's that or a slave to sin. Spent many years on that team. BREAKING NEWS: Christians struggle with sin!! Subtitle: I don't answer to sin and the process of repentance sets me free, duh! It certainly was easier to do what I wanted, when I wanted to do it and with whom. I didn't toil over whether or not what I was doing was pleasing in God's eyes. I certainly didn't consider if I was living out the purpose He saw for my life. Christians, let's be honest, it's easier to live in sin. Living righteous takes discipline, will, faith, long- suffering , growth, stripping of pride and the giving up of our desires for our life, etc. We all know how we are slaves to sin. Some being alcohol, drugs, sex, hate, pride, greed, etc. These things create a downward spiral; cause and effect. It's logical. So if sin leads to more sin than living righteous leads to? So what...

R U Ready 4 Battle?

Orderliness is by far the theme today. Everything I was involved in had something to do with communication, process, planning, execution, in ORDER to do this or that. Not in the every day way either! I'm so thankful for God's spirit. I could've easily gotten frustrated and discouraged. Instead confirmation after confirmation that it's time for ORDER excited me! Change and confrontation can be delicate but it's time. God's got me in a space to develop my sense for process, honesty, truth, and desire for fairness, for self-awareness and improvement and the need for clear communication to do great things. We blame. We make excuses. We take no responsibilty. We sit in a mess waiting for someone else to get it in order. We aren't proactive. We need to be told what to do. We are idle. It's like watching an accident and no one runs to help. No one calls 9-1-1 assuming someone else will. Or everyone runs to help crashing in to one another making a big mess and b...
