When it comes to God’s kingdom, we shouldn’t shirk from the adventure. No fear should makes us cower. We should be “bold as lions” and thirst for the things we are most afraid of.
Is it tithing? evangelism? discipleship? church planting? ministry? Take it on, and ride the storm. Don’t seek the comfy life of never challenging the devil. I’d rather die on the warfront than in a retirement home bed.
Dare for more in your Christian walk. Risk for Christ.

Thank you posting I needed to hear this word.
Helps us, Jesus!
i’m sure you would enjoy mark batterson’s book, “in a pit with a lion on a snowy day.” it’s about our christian calling to chase lions!
Yes, not my favorite subject.
what’s not your fave subject?
going through trials…
interesting. thx for sharing! it may not be my fave experience, altho trials keep me in God’s face, so that’s debatable; but it’s definitely a fave subject of mine. suffering brings about beauty, brings about change, is a great equalizer and energizer. yeah, i’d say it’s a fave topic of mine. i’d venture to say it’s the thing that makes me most like Christ 🙂
That is beautiful: “suffering brings beauty, brings change, is a great equalizer and energizer.” you should blog that. it’s powerful and bound to help many people
Great message and reminder to my husband and I right now as we seek the Lord for the next step in serving Him. Love you thoughts on braving the storms and risking all for Christ.
Yes, help us, Jesus
Thank you for the challenge. It’s one not to be taken lightly!!!

Help us, Jesus!.

After the last storm (weather-ice), I am not so much a go-getter as the past–a little PTSD going on inside of me but sometimes we have to push on no matter what. Tonight, I just want to curl up and someone tell me it will be ok. 😐
It’s be ok. Hugs!
Thanks for that!

Wow! Cool! Thanks!
You’re welcome! 🙂
Funny you should say “We should search for the things we are most afraid of”. Last year I was asked to be an assistant leader for the church’s addiction outreach ministry working with the teen girls. I accepted and soon was left to take over as leader, I was nervous and had just recently reconciled my relationship with God. I didn’t think I was ready being out of touch with God for over twenty years, God had more confidence in me than I did and I’ve become a stronger Christian for this experience. Thanks be to God for giving me this responsibility when even my own son would have nothing to do with me. Glory be to God for answering my prayers, leading my son back home and equipping me to be a light for Him in the eyes of my son and granddaughter. My prayer is that I will continue to be God’s light and that He will soften my sons heart and remove the veil of darkness from his eyes. I pray for the salvation of both my children, please join me in this prayer. Thanks in advance, and God Bless!
That is so awesome! I rejoice with you and send up a prayer for you! Hang in there! Keep plugging along for Jesus!
Oh, my this is so true. And so many people in the Body of Christ seem to have lost this vision. Keep saying it, Brother!
Yes.
This is a powerful message of action to prove your Christianity by participating and giving time. I think it is also important to show it through your feelings. By being a kind person, others will seek you out, then you can pass on the message of Light and Hope. Smiles, Robin
hugs!
