Sunday Night Reflections

Apr 11, 2010

A few thoughts on a great day at NewSpring Church…

  • God changed the message for this weekend on FRIDAY…to be honest, I am always nervous when He does that!
  • BUT…He also CHANGED around 80 people today as they crossed over from death to life…THAT never gets old!
  • The issue of salvation was not meant to be confusing but comforting…we can KNOW that Jesus lives inside of us and that we have eternal life (See I John 5:13!)
  • Meeting Christ = Change…Period
  • There is not one example in the Scriptures of someone who met Christ and did not change!  (Though there are PLENTY of examples of people who were AROUND Him but did not embrace who He was; therefore, they were never changed!)
  • Today we talked about the Apostle Paul…he HATED Christianity…resisted it with all that he had…met Jesus and was COMPLETELY changed!
  • Meeting Christ = Change…Period.
  • Someone cannot meet Christ and remain the same!!!  (BTW…meeting Christ is not praying a prayer where you say you don’t want to go to hell…but rather confessing Him as Lord and surrendering EVERYTHING to Him.)

I could go on and on about the message today…but honestly, I am more tired right now than I can remember being in a while…the message will be available on Tuesday on our website and on itunes if you would like to hear it.  I am SO pumped that so many people met Christ today…and now I am going to go and celebrate with my pillow!  :-)
