Maintaining the passion

The danger of becoming insular. As I contemplate my journey of faith thus far, this commercial comes to mind of how we can become insular and passionless in our walk. When I came to Christ some 5 years ago, I was full of dreams with a passion to bring about change in my home congregation. Having now been involved in the "local church" and its youthwork, how are those dreams materialising, am I being an influence of change where God has placed me? Or am I becoming comfortable and insular, like the flea's in this clip no longer breaking out of the mould.
I gotta admit it's a struggle, a frustrating journey at times, but something I feel God has called me to. I just gotta keep my focus on Him, allow Him to transform me and work through me, and continue to keep alight the flame of passion he has placed in my heart. O help me God!!

Have setup a new blog over at wordpress, will hopefully get back to more regular posting again. If anyone reads this blog still you can update your links.

Wouldn't it be great if it was like this all the time

Just finished the week of CSSM, and again have been reminded of how God moves when his people serve and obey.  On a team like this your totally reliant on God for everything, and daily you see his answers to prayer as he gives you the strength and enthusiasm to keep on beyond your own abilities.  Its also an amazing experience to see God use a group of diverse yet gifted people from different walks of life who share the same common goal of serving their Saviour and proclaiming the gospel in word and deed.  What a privilege to be involved in Gods kingdom work in this way and share in fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ in serving Him.

Now the preparations for Reachout begin, another fantastic opportunity to proclaim the Good News of the gospel in word and deed to the young people in our community, and through them to the wider community.

Almighty God, what a privilege that you choose to use fallen sinners like me in your kingdom work, may your name be glorified and your grace abound. Break me, shape me, mould me, use me in accordance with your will.
