Some mornings I’ll start reading and keep going with inspired momentum. (Today it was Matthew 1-6.) This is not to say how awesome I am but how great the book is. I love how The Message words stuff that I’ve heard more than a couple times and challenges me to look at my assumptions. Here’s part of what jumped out at me today:
If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.
Thanks to Bob Kauflin, someone I consider to be a mentor about worship, for this video:
