Dedication and Mission

I Dedicate this blog first and formost to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In doing so I also dedicate this blog to everyone who is willing to take a stand, to step forward, to fall deeper in love with Christ, and embrace God's plan for their life.

The purpose of this blog is to challenge Christians out of complacency, to break me out of complacency. To show Christians that there is always More to their relationship with Christ. He can always teach you something new about loving himself, others, and yourself. For he IS love.

I pray people will read this blog, and test what is written in it for themselves, and then to live what they have tested and found to be true.

Whether young or old, in Jesus name I call you to pick up your cross and follow him. I challenge you to fall in love with God. To let yourself become a solid Christian. To not be swayed by the winds of this world, so that when the storm comes you can take your stand and say, "I Shall Not Be Moved. Christ is my Rock, and upon him I have built my house".

46"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? 47I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. 48He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete." (Luke 6:46-49)

and again in Matthew

24"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." (Matthew 7:24-27)
