The Biggest Danger? Failing to Launch

If you knew that your time on earth was almost over and every word counted: What would you start with? What words would be first and foremost on your mind? (First part video replay here.)

Moses had seen a lot - been a lot. 40 years a prince (learning to rule,) 40 a shepherd (learning to guide the stupid and stubborn,) 40 years a general (leading an army that turned into a death march until a whole generation had passed.)

So with all he saw, all he experienced, all that he could recount he jumps to this first - with this word of the Lord:

The Lord said, "You've been too long on this mountain. Break camp and advance!"

Interesting that he doesn't think the first concern is idolatry or grumbling - it's a failure to launch. THAT is a word for this month - this 11th month.

But launch into what? How will we express the core of moving forward for Kingdom? (Part 2 replay here.)

Things have gotten so muddled - 'Christian.' 'Born again.' 'Spirit filled.'

Inside and outside of the church today these words have become tag lines, bag lines, and, at times, a way to simply group and discard each other. We have to find new ways to communicate the truth of what these once meant.

So - watch the second vid here. It's my attempt to help us see and talk about true change in Jesus; about being saturated by the Spirit of God; and how we seek to be Kingdom minded rather than 'church' minded. He did tell us to 'Seek first....ah....something.

(BTW - Go to the 10 minute mark on the 2nd vid and see the sponge respond. That's how we're supposed to be filled.)
