Day 139 and I've been working on my preach.
We've been teaching a series called Consumed: What's Sucking The Life Out Of You? Every week we unpack an idol that we bow down to that wrecks our life - bowing down to the idol of busyness; bowing down to the idols of comparison and pretense; bowing down to idol of family.
This week we unpack perhaps the most dangerous idol to bow down to.
The trouble with this idol is its inside our churches!
Ouch!
No doubt we're heading to another stirring Sunday.
My intentional follow today ......have the guts to write this preach!

I’m glad you found the guts! You once said in one of your past messages that because of Christ we are not only ‘free from’, but ‘free to’. I think staying in the ‘free from’ sometimes is as far as we go as followers of Jesus. There is even a battle just to remain in that ‘free from’, maybe in this is where we find ways of easing our conscience instead of moving forward into the ‘free to’. If we actually moved forward into the ‘free to’, we’d be a much different body of Christ. Had an earlier conversation today with a friend about your message, about this freedom and in the midst of it, we realized that this is one battle we Christ followers must engage in for the victory –so many are counting on us to do so. Maybe it begins with - that someone had the courage to remind us of the real Jesus. Yeah, don’t mean to be dramatic, but I’m really glad you had the guts -Naomi
