STREET SWEEPER!!!!

so i woke up this morning to my dad literally kicking in my door screaming, "STREET SWEEPER!" i proceeded to look for my keys and hurry out so i didnt get a 20 dollar ticket. my dad from the front door is yelling, "HURRY!" i cant find my keys so my dad runs outside, in his underwear as it is pouring rain, and he holds up his hands to stop the street sweeper. i find my keys and move the car up into the driveway, and i didnt get a ticket. we walk back in the house and my dad looks at me, smiles, and says,"youre welcome." and walks back upstairs. great way to start off that morning. i love my dad.

tonight was great. high school and jr high both know the vision CCV SHIFT student ministries. it is going to be amazing to see what God has planned for the staff and the students as we pursue this vision.

one of the people i follow and listen to is Perry Noble from New Spring Church. i read his blog daily. i really liked what he had to say about urgency and people who do not know the LORD. here is what he had to say, you can read his blogs here http://www.perrynoble.com.

"There really is a heaven…and there really is a hell…and people really do go to one or the other!

And we can’t make excuses any longer…we’ve got to be willing to do whatever it takes to reach these people and tell them about Jesus…

#1 – Read Luke 14:15-23 and Luke 15:1-10 and see how JESUS feels about people who are lost and far from Him!

#2 – Ask God WHO you need to BRING to church with you THIS MONTH!!! Seriously…ask Him to place someone (or multiple people) on your heart after reading the Scripture above. (We are going ALL OUT THIS SUNDAY to share the GOSPEL…you SERIOUSLY NEED to get people here!!!)

#3 – SEIZE the opportunities that God puts in front of you! Read Isaiah 40:6-8, we have a limited time on this big ball of dirt we call earth…and we have a direct command from our Savior to REACH the world for Him (Matthew 28:18-20)…the WORLD begins with those who God has placed right in front of us…so let’s go for it!!!"

i really think this is important. think about what you can do for someone's life, for someone's eternity, if you were to show them who God is and His love for them.
