What if??? (from C3)

We are down at C3 with the TEAM, an awesome creative conference led by Ed Young's church & in just a few hours last night...here's what left an imprint on my heart:

What if?
  • we could see each other in the body of Christ thru MERCY
  • we could see THE LOST through MERCY
  • we were reminded daily that God's mercy is greater than anyone's failure!
  • everything we did, we did through His eyes...thru MERCY

We were reminded how GOD is OBSESSED with the LOST! Lost sheep, lost coin, lost son...our role in all of this? To be the spiritual GPS's or Navigators for the LOST in a hurting world FILLED with LOST people, lost sheep, lost coins, lost sons...we are to REROUTE those who are lost to HIM. Afterall, HE GAVE HIS ONE & ONLY SON for the LOST.

And here were some of my FAVORITE one liners of the night that I had to write down:

  • "Don't identify your life as a Christian by what you don't do, but by WHAT YOU DO for Him (your foot prints :)
  • "The only way a room gets dark...is by turning OFF the light (that's us removing ourselves from the lost)"
  • "Are you a fishermen of men...or are you a Keeper of the aquarium?"
  • "Most churches dont want to be inconvenienced to reach the lost..." :(

Thank you God for allowing me to be part of a Vision that WILL be inconvenienced, stretched, annoyed, exhausted, tried, tired before giving up! Protect our Flamingo as we go after it!!!!
