...that Stacie Orrico (There's got to be more to life than temporary highs) and Switchfoot (meant to live for so much more) were onto something...
...that if you don't have a holy discontent for more of Him in your life, you need to be closer to the Lord...
...that being a genuine follower of Christ has nothing to do with forwarding e-mails about United States legislation or ones that state you don't care about the Lord if you don't forward them, or passing around rumors of political candidates, or wearing a christian-ese shirt in a public place (which many are even afraid to do that), or having a jesus phish on your car....
...that the real life we should be living has miracles happening downtown in large cities with whoever is around watching, and us slipping into the crowd before any credit can be given...
...that we are called to so much more than 9-5...
...that our fears really DO control us, and we are just afraid to admit that...
...that we have an idea of how we should be, but it is so contrary to most anyone we know who calls themselves a christian, so we stay how we are, solidifying a boring, powerless life...
...that true love is more powerful than any other weapon...
...that is we only had control of our tongues, and asked the Lord how we should respond to situations or comments, the world would look completely different...
...that church every sunday morning, wednesday night, and the occasional sunday night service should make up about 3% of our attempting christ wanna be lives...
...that if you are unwilling to ever push yourself in any area (mainly physically, emotionally, and spiritually) it will be hard for the Lord to use you for anything substantial...
...that money, cars, shopping, shoes, teeth whiteners, socks, the morning after thanksgiving, movies, and a lot more things are just simply meaningless, but as it is, they control our lives...
...that even a one day trip in another culture that lives far below your standard of living, would be far more than life-altering...
...that Satan's #1 tool in the United States is putting blinders to either side of our eyes, making us have spiritual tunnel vision and never seeing the whole picture...
...that in most people of the age of 50, you will find a story of a dream birthed in them at a young age that they never pursued and regreat greatly, but still watch younger generations repeat the same mistakes...
...that if we even began to understand the importance of the calling that we have been given, we would live completely different..
...that the evidence of our total ignorance is our lives themselves...

well...all I can say is that you embody James 3:13 and 17-18. awesome. :)
"13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom."
"17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness."
really resonates with me, man. i started off reading and was going to leave a comment based on the first or second one, but...the whole thing resonates.
let's start a church together. and i don't mean acquiring a building and equipment.
Paul, what were you going to say about the first two?
