Still in the Game?

Depending on which conference you attended this year, it has been 4-8 weeks since you were at Shabbach. Are you still in the game?

Paul writes in Philippians 3:12, “Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own…”

Are you still pressing?

Still praising?

Praying?

Word?

Eddie James preached Sunday at Myrtle Beach that we should be seeking more than a one-night stand with the Holy Spirit, but that we should be seeking a life of discipleship...

“that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may GROW UP in all things into Him who is the head—Christ” Ephesians 4:14-15

Are you growing?

Not did you grow at Shabbach- are you grow-ING- as in continue-ING to grow?

Paul continues in Philippians 3:13, “One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize…”

When Paul wrote this, he had already wrote much of the New Testament you read today. He had preached around the world and stood before pagans and kings...

-yet he did not think he had arrived-

-he had not got there yet-

-he had more to do-

You cannot live on the fumes of a past experience with God.  You’ve got to strain, stretch, and PRESS toward God.

Keep pushing…..

Keep growing….

Stay in the Game

Read Colossians 1:11-12---This is my prayer over you this week.
