PREACH

Blown away.

Just an excerpt:

“There’s a problem if people know that you’re a Christian only by your Facebook… No one seemed to be on to me… See, I spent my whole life building this facade of neatness but now that I know Jesus, I boast in my weakness. Because if grace is a water, then the church should be an ocean. It’s not a museum for good people; it’s a hospital for the broken. Which means I don’t have to hide my failure, I don’t have to hide my sin. Because it doesn’t depend on me; it depends on Him.”

It’s so easy to mask paint ourselves with ‘good deeds’, ‘good words’, ‘good works’ in the social media. I know that I’ve faced this struggle time and time again. This video, this brother’s spoken word, was such a timely wake-up call. God’s perfect timing. Perfect, indeed.

I love what he (Jefferson Bethke!) quoted as a response to a youtube comment: 

“The only requirement for Gods love is 2 know u can’t meet the requirements. All u need is nothing. All u need, is need.”- Tim Keller

I want to act out my faith wherever I go. I need to.
