Something That's Worth It

I have read about many people that gave everything to follow a dream. I know some personally. I am honored to be part of a team that is continually risking it all to see the Kingdom of God expressed in west LA. I’ve been asked often why we do this. 

There are really only two reasons:

1. Simply the call of God. That thing in our hearts that was birthed in the secret place, alone with God, that simply can’t be ignored.

2. I think everyone wants the opportunity to risk everything for the sake of something that is worth it; something that is truly great. I know that's true for me, and that's what we're doing.

The amazing news is that we ALL have this opportunity anytime, anyplace, and with all our hearts. You have the opportunity. You have the call to follow Jesus. Lose your life in order to truly find it. Love unconditionally. Receive the grace of God. Walk in the promises. Give glory to God. Think eternally and enjoy the moment at the same time. The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Walk in it and bring it to others. 



And, when God calls you to do something that is difficult or risky, do it.
