Reflections

Brian and I are teaching a sermon series called Fearless, facing life with courage and confidence. I love this kind of teaching because we take a look at biblical people, who are very much like us, and leverage their experiences in our lives. These folks we are looking at lived with a clear view of God. I call it a "God culture". Everything in their lives was centered around their view of God's presence and power.

Most people live with the culture in view and not God. On any given day we are bombarded with messages from our culture. Our culture could be "pop", sports, politics, or even church. We then filter information, make decisions, build values, and extend relationships based on those cultural messages.

What would our lives be like if we chose to live in "God" culture? I think we would be more loving, take greater risks, be less self-centered, be more generous, and have a greater influence for the Kingdom of God. We might even live fearless.

I am making a intentional shift of cultures. I am going with God.
