We've been settling for the false finish lines of comfort and control. We've been settling for false finish lines of politics and the economy. I have no faith in politics to bring us glory. That's not our finish line. In fact, filling up church buildings on a Sunday morning is a false finish line. But I have found over and over again, that it’s difficult, if not impossible to lean into new things without being done with the old things. So my question is Are we done with the old things? Are we ready to run to the true goal, the finish line of Christ?

I long to see the church shine bright like a city on a hill. I long for us to be known as the hands & heart of Christ. I still believe that the church that Jesus is building is the hope of the world. I want to be part of that church. But to be that church some old things need to die and get planted. What in you needs to die and get planted?
praying for that church to be done with old things.

What if God wants to do a new thing in our day, but he’s just waiting for us to give up some old things?
