When I Begin to Drift ... SHIFT (Self Examination Questions)

Yesterday, I had the privilge of sharing the final message of 2010 at Journey Community Church.  In my message (titled SHIFT) I shared that at times we will drift from keeping the "one thing" in focus, and when we do we need to SHIFT.

I shared some self examination questions that I have found helpful in shifting God back into focus as the "one thing.

Here they are in case you missed them:

  • Is there any area of sin that I am struggling with?
  • Am I genuinely engaging in the lives of people whom Christ desires for us to reach?
  • Am I living life of conscientious dependence on Him?
  • “I am living life with a grateful spirit?”

April thank you for the encouragement. When you finish reading the book, we should have coffee I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

Great questions! I was really challenged by your sermon, Rod. I'm also looking forward to reading John Piper's book "Think" that you referenced.

Adding "Angst" to Any Christmas Gathering Now that Christmas is becoming a memory and in a few days we will be putting away the Christmas tree and packing away all the decorations, here is something I want to prod you to put in the vault for next Christmas. Most of us attend several Christmas party/gatherings during the course of the season. Some are highly anticipated, some are more of a commitment or obligatin, some you wish you could put more energy toward -- these are some of the ways we approach them. Now with these gatherings there is not only a commitment of our time, but also, in a lot of instances, we are responsible to bring a dish (if it is potluck style) and some of you might have some type of gift to bring for a gift exchange. So seemingly simple tasks are exaggerated because there are so many of them. So in the midst of an already full schedule and season here is how you can angst to any of these Christmas Gatherings. You can do so by adding this gesture. Ask each person that attends to bring a gift for Jesus. It is His birthday afterall that we are celebrating right? And when I am invited to a friend's birthday party, I believe the understood norm is that you bring a wrapped gift. So why would it not be any different for Jesus the King of King and Lord of Lords. Trust me when I say this will be met with angst....
