ALL IN

 

Well…I believe I have made up my mind of what I want to do with my life. I want to serve others in Christ. I want to be a minister of the Gospel through the talents He has given me to help further God's Kingdom. Actually, when I think about it…it's a heart thing. Never in my life have I felt more ready to just give up my life to God than now. I'm going "ALL IN!!" You see I've been around the influence of Christianity my entire life. My father was (and still is) a pastor and my mother was leader of a powerful music ministry, but for some reason life for me was different. For some reason I ALWAYS….and I mean ALWAYS had to learn things the hard way. I was trying to do everything "my" way and not "God's" way. I wanted to shuffle my own deck of cards and deal out my own hand, then win. I don't understand why I was like that even as a little child. And yet…God has stuck by me through it all. I have been molested, hooked on drugs, beaten up by my closest friends and loved ones, almost killed in multiple serious accidents, and the list goes on! I can't tell you how many times I have gone to the alter call and poured out my self….then I would go right back to the worldly things I was living….a double standard. I have been attending a series at New Life Church called "ALL IN" and this series has really helped me to open my eyes about who God is and what He wants from just me. I have learned that when I go to church it's not all about me, but it's about God!! About God!! Isn't that so simple!!? I cannot believe that I have aloud myself to be deceived all these years about church. I'll tell you something that's very true. If you don't believe me then ask my wife Jenelle. I have NEVER been so excited to go to church. New Life (like I've mentioned before) has done just what its title entails….given me a "new life." Every time I go to church I hear something that gets me inside….something I dwell on the entire week, and it makes me want to do something about how I feel. I guess you can say that I feel so eager to serve and to spread the good news. Anyway, that's what I'm thinking about right now….Lord, thank You for always being all in for me. Thank you for the life that you have blessed me with. For my wife and my family, and New Life Church. I pray Lord that you would help me to be all in for your Lord and thank you for your forgiveness of ALL of my sins. I praise you my King. Make me a warrior of your Kingdom, and please heal my back Lord. I love you Jesus! In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Greg that was an INCREDIBLE series wasn't it?? I say after going to this church for the last 9 years, this was probably in my top 5.
As you know we are blessed with a great team of pastors. It sounds like your mom and dad are a great team too. I love it that teamwork of people MOVES US all closer to KNOWING more of Him.

cya!
