Words for your journey.

This is for my Life church family. We have done life together for more than 4 years. As that comes to a close, I wanted to leave some words with you. Most of this will sound familiar. They are things that I have preached about. They are things that we've talked about in conversation...whether in my office, after service, on a trip, or over a cup of coffee.

Words for your journey...

My heart to yours. Pastor Jared.

1. Love God. Love People. Let everything else flow out of that.
2. Make the connection between real life and real faith.
3. What you do today is forecasting your tomorrow. Your choices matter.
4. Man up. The buck stops with you.
5. His grace is enough. He makes all things new.
6. Be repentant. Be humble.
7. Be obedient. Obedience produces faithfulness. Faithfulness fuels anointing. Anointing is the fire of Godly passion. Passion fuels calling. Put it all together and you have the life that blows your mind.
8. Jeremiah 29:11. Write it on your heart.
9. You’ll never feel more alive or more like Jesus that when you’re helping others.
10. Spirit vs. flesh - what you feed will win. Feed your spirit.
11. Live a life that constantly allows God to disrupt your regular lifestyle.
12. Don’t live to please people. Live to please God.
13. Don’t make other people’s issues your own. You can’t fix them. Only God can.
14. Make tithing a priority in your life.
15. Worship. Read. Pray. Repeat.
16. Praise your way through...everything...
17. Worship like no one else is around.
18. Pray scripture. Speak scripture. Memorize scripture. Live by scripture.
19. Keep scripture available. Make it digestible.
20. Pray. And stay around people that do.
21. Guard your influences. Guard your eyes and ears. Keep the Godly close.
22. Live heads up. Wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.
23. Stay plugged in to church. You need other believers, and they need you.
24. Sowing wild oats isn’t worth it. Ever. You reap what you sow.
25. Go. Mission trips, conferences, retreats... get away, let God speak to you.
26. Be a catalyst for Godly change without becoming cynical. Keep a firm resolve while staying tenderhearted.
27. Live a life of excellence. Find mentors & learn from them.
28. Don’t settle for coffeehouse Christianity.
29. Don’t settle for anything but the best that God has for you. Don’t ever give up. It’s character building.
30. Ashley and I love you. We believe in you. Can’t wait to see what God does through you........ and when in doubt, always follow the #1 rule!
