Is the Church of the Living God full of Hypocrites?
Something that is rolling around in my mind today: "Many are called, but few are chosen." I have found in my life that many people say one thing and do another. Many people quickly make commitments, and just as quickly break those commitments. I have seen in my lifetime many who have good intentions and terrible follow through. I see a generation of people who want the title without the responsibility. Sometimes in order to inherit the best things in life, you must be tried with the fire to see if what you think you are doing for God is really for God. Often times you will discover that the life you live is more for your selfish benefit, than for the benefit of God or other people. It's easy for people to criticize what others do, however, they wouldn't last one day in their shoes. I see a generation of people who desperately need to be enlightened to what this life is all about. However, I see so many so called "Christians" being distracted by religion that they miss the point of why Jesus came. There is a lack of burden and desire for the people around them to become followers of Jesus. People work, eat, sleep, watch movies, seek entertainment, hunt, fish, go shopping, all for what purpose? To please themselves. I hear a lot of people complain about other Christians instead of encouraging each other. If Jesus is the hope of the world, (and He is) then how come we don't spend more of our time introducing others to who He is? We must not truly believe He is the hope of the world...

PRAY FOR THESE PEOPLE! 1-19-2013
Hey team! Please say a special prayer for 4 people I have met this week.
1. Sarah- I met Sarah at Chase Bank and had a wonderful conversation with her about attending Revolution Church! She seemed very interested and we left her with our business card last Saturday. Today, I went back into Chase to see Sarah and entered ready to give her a postcard that we designed for the Superbowl Party. I entered today and was greeted by Sarah and a 60 year old woman named Ruth. Sarah said she is definitely planning to attend the party and wanted more details about our weekly meetings! God is working in McKinney!
2. Ruth-As I began to talk to Ruth, she told me that since last Saturday they haven't stopped talking about Revolution Church and what we are doing! She told me she attends a local church here in the area, but has requested prayer for us in her Sunday School class. This lady was a true believer. She was real, genuine, and I could tell she had a real encounter with Jesus.
3. Our Neighbors-Monica & Mackenzie-I had the opportunity to help them load a trailer onto a moving truck. (Funny enough, I didn't know how to do this until I just moved...lol) Anyways, I helped them load the trailer and we had a wonderful conversation about church, why we moved to McKinney, and of course, I invited them to the Superbowl Party. They told me they were very interested and would most likely attend.
4. Ranae' Heller-This is the lady I met in Lowes last week. Since then, she has committed to attending the Superbowl Party, and has asked me several questions about God that I am excited to answer.
Why am I telling you this? I need my prayer team (YOU) to pray for each of these people. Our desire is to do life with them. We want to help them with any type of situations that they go through, and be a positive influence in their lives. Most of all, our desire is to help them become one step closer in their walk with Jesus. Don't give up on us. Pray for these people. They are real people, just like you and I who need to experience the power of a Holy God in their lives. We are relentless, and will not stop, until we see a Revolution in McKinney, Texas!
