In a world of many choices and not enough time, it is very easy to put God on the back burner.   It’s mind-blowing that some believers settle for a life of intention rather than one of commitment. This must change.  God has so much more for his people!

Tomorrow 12/15/10, I will be receiving my first copy of “Be the One.” This book will birth a desire to partner with God to see great things happen in our families, schools, communities and nation. “Be the One,” is challenging, encouraging, practical, easy to read, and convicting. The reason for posting this article is; I need your help.  I want to get this book into as many hands as possible.  Why?  Because it is time to awaken the remarkable potential that lies inside every believer.  Help me get the word out about “Be the One”! Talk to your friends, youth pastors, pastors, parents, FCA’s, FCS, YoungLife groups, K life groups, small groups. In a couple weeks, I will have the cover ready for all who want to post it on their social media sites.  Start writing about it on your statuses so the awareness of what God is about to do can come into focus.  Let’s change the world together.  You can make a difference!! I know you are busy, but what if…by your faithfulness God started a movement in hearts and minds all over the world.  Change is coming and I’m asking you to be a part of it.  I need your help!

“Be the One” will be released in three weeks…I’ll be back in touch with you soon.

To God be the glory,

Steven

Just got done with Life Growing weekend.  The speakers were amazing, the ministry was phenomenal, and healing went forth.  Also, I’m stoked about all the new friendship that I made!  But as I sit in my office, the morning after, I can’t help but the wonder who will be the one to take the messages and build on them.   If we are going to take back this nation and evangelize the world then believers must rise up.  We can’t expect culture to like the message, even Jesus had resistance.  When Jesus was engaged in ministry there were many who didn’t believe, but that never stopped Him from finding the ones who where ready to make a change.  Don’t let the screams of the rebellious cause you to miss the ones who will get His message.

In my current place in life I’m over run with toys that require batteries.  It seems like every time I turn around there’s another birthday, holiday, or special event.  It’s so entertaining to watch my kid’s faces as they open a present to see this super looking toy, so colorful and shiny.  It’s like the toy is screaming “PLAY WITH ME!”  But no matter how cool it looks, without batteries it can never live up to what it’s designed to be.  The batteries are the source that ACTIVATES the toy to reach its full potential.

The same is true with our spiritual life.  There’s no way we can live up to our potential without God as our source. It doesn’t matter how bright and shiny you look, or how great your talents are, you’ll never measure up without HIM.  God is the Activator!  Everything comes alive when you really know God.   He wants to ACTIVATE your spirit to: long for him, grow in him, and believe Him.   Why? Because there are so many crazy truths God is waiting to share with you.

Focus Point: Activate motionless Christianity by making God your source.
