Francis Chan @ RightNow Conf

What is truth?
What is it that the Word tells us?

Start with scripture and get the Truth from it asnopposex to starting
with a desire and then finding scripture to back it up;
which may even be used out of context

Have we found a middle road?
Scripture says there is a narrow road and a wide road. We have made a
Middle Road in the church Nd in our own individual lives

We are twisting things..
We say the right things but our life doesn't match up
We have created a culture in the church that says the right things but
often times we are not even following the things of God that we speak of

.....Everybody just wants to comment as opposed to committing
(do not be suprised at the trials that you will go through as a
pastor, teacher and leader)

There is a reality to trading in the pursuit of the American dream and
becoming what He has called us to do. We need to pursue Jesus and Him
alone.

1 Peter 4:12 ... May we use as an encouragement in what He has asked
us to do
...the church must speak the Truth
...even when it may hurt

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be on the alert...

..... The enemy will try to get you fired up.
..... The enemy wants division. He wants to destroy unity
..... The enemy wants chaos

1 Peter 5:10
After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace will
Himself restore, strengthen and establish you

The Truth is found in the scripture. The truth is the fact that we
will go through trial and tribulation. The truth is knowing that He is
with you through it all. The truth is understanding the fellowship we
are to have with Him.

The Truth is that I have been created to be in an intimate loving
relationship with Jesus. I have been called to Lead the was he has
gifted me. I have been called to walk through trials but He will never
leave or forsKe me. He is our prize!!

Is Jesus your prize?
