For whatever reason, I got a severe case of writers block as we concluded our '28 - Powerful' theme. In many ways, the whole blogging thing each day was an experiment from the start and while it went well for the most part, I learned some things that will help into the future. Bottom Line: Sorry for the delay, but we're back on track!
Acts 22. Take a look at verse 16 for a moment. Ananias is speaking to Paul when he asks, "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name." What are you waiting for? That loaded question has a lot of punch behind it. Consider it. What's holding you back? What's preventing you from moving forward? What's keeping you from doing what God wants you to do? What's stopping you from living a POWERFUL Christian life? What's keeping you from daily communion with the Holy Spirit? What's keeping you from using the Spiritual Gifts that God has uniquely equipped you with? What's preventing you from telling your friends about Christ?
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
It's storta like the questions why vs. why not. Some people (3-year olds are notorious for this) ask the question "why" over and over and over again. Instead, I think, especially as Christ-followers, we should take a "why not" approach. I wonder if God doesn't get sick of hearing us ask him "why" all the time... The question isn't, "why should I tell my friends about Christ?" it's "why am I not telling my friends about Christ?" Asking "why" sorta suggests that you need an excuse to do it. What if we asked "why not?" instead?
