what my phone can do
my phone is awesome. it’s an iPhone. at any moment i can:
check my email
pay my phone bill
check my bank statement
make a car payment
update my twitter/facebook status
track my weight loss
read the Bible
check the weather
keep up with the latest football games
listen to music
check the latest woot.com ‘shirt of the day’
and oh…send text messages and make phone calls.
it’s pretty great.
but if i’m not careful, i am proned to be more concerned about my phone than i am about how close i got to looking like Jesus today. dang. that hurt.
just thought i’d remind myself of that.
velocity update – march 1, 2009
this past weekend in velocity we our opening talk for “red letters.” i have the talk, and i was pretty excited about it. i talked out of matthew 9:9-13. jesus walks up to matthew, an outcast in that society, and asks him to follow. so crazy. i took it from two angles
the disciples: no doubt the ones already following jesus were a little confused as to why a “tax collector” was joining their bunch. i asked, “who in your life are you denying the life-changing love of jesus?” we mainly do that because of decisions those people have made…we think jesus wouldn’t want them following him.
matthew: we’ve all been here, i’m sure. i know i’ve felt sometimes that i’m not good enough to follow jesus. oh boy does jesus shatter that thinking. anyone can change. this is jesus we’re talking about…the same dude who rose from the dead! wow, the power in believing that is immense. who do you know that is “too far gone?” even when everyone thinks a person is “lost” … he is still worth being found in God’s eyes.
next week bill is tackling some red letters. stay tuned for a recap
