Once upon a time, a little lightning bug was stuck inside a mason jar, just blinking away. He was completely focused on being the brightest and getting everyone to notice him...until now. The jar was opened, and the little bug is flying away. Every bug seems to be flying toward a bright light near a porch. The light is making a buzz. Instead, our little friend is going big: he's flying for the moon.

Passion Blog: Being Radically Renewed
This morning's main session featured a great worship service, as a heavily-bearded David Crowder and his band lead us in praise of our Lord. As if that wasn't enough, a legend in Passion history spoke this morning: Beth Moore.
Beth spoke on having our mind renewed in Christ. The only way to successfully discern God's will for your life is to have a mind that is focused purely on God.
We are charged to focus every thought on Christ, and through that, you will change the way you think. By changing the way you think, you change the way you feel. By changing the way you feel, you change your actions. By changing actions, you better glorify God. It's all dependent on itself. Are you ready to change?
Also, David Platt spoke today. If you've followed my blog for awhile, you would see that I am a huge advocate for his book, Radical: Taking Your Faith Back from the American Dream. He did a condensed version of book in one-hour form, and it was as convicting as ever.
Americans have made Christianity a cultural joke instead of the very real Truth that it is. When you make Jesus and the Gospels conform to the American standard of life, you quit worshipping Jesus. You are then worshipping yourself.
Let go of your possessions and useless junk that you waste your time, money, and resources. All that matters is Christ and His future for us. He will take care of the rest.
Let's pray that the people of the world are renewed for Christ and let go of useless stuff and focus on God. There's no time to waste; people are dying every minute and going to Hell.
