Not there yet…

This verse rocked me recently:

‘As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.’ – Psalm 17:15

I am never going to be fully satisfied in this present life.  Check out this quote about this verse:

“To behold God’s face and to be changed by that vision to his image, so as to partake in his righteousness, this is my noble ambition; and in the prospect of this I cheerfully waive all my present enjoyments…Compared with this deep, ineffable, eternal fullness of delight, the joys of the worldling are as a glowworm to the sun, or the drop of a bucket to the ocean.”

- Charles H. Spurgeon

WOW!


To the ends of the earth…

Today was a great day!  I preached at both services at WAC this morning and I got to share about part of our vision.  Here is a link to a post from last year where I wrote a little something after our series about Vision.

Our mission statement at WAC is “doing whatever it takes to reach whoever we can with the hope found in Jesus Christ”. This morning we learned a little about how we view the “Extend” portion of our strategy.  I firmly believe that “The Church” will explode when believers join together and accept responsibility for extending the love of Christ on a personal level – rather than leaving it up to the professionals.

The task is too great…and there are far too many people who need Jesus to sit around and wait on someone else to do it.  We all have a position to play!  I am honored to serve with so many awesome people who “get it” at WAC!

Yesterday 35 people from WAC flew to San Diego to work with Elevate Church and Lead Pastor Kevin Campbell to help them prepare for their launch in January.  We video conferenced with the team live this morning in both services!  It was amazing – and best of all…FREE!

Pray for the team this week…and you can get updates on Chuck’s blog.
