The Altar Of Life

I shared previously about the altar of life and how at SRC I challenge people every week to live out their response to God by living it out in their real life. I shared openly this weekend about my own spiritual growth, and that I had faced an issue that God had dealt with me about. But I also shared that when I dealt with the conflict I was praying the whole time, "Please God help." My palms sweated, my nerves were on edge, and I was relieved when I got voice mail the first time I called. I shared it because we're all on an equal playing field when it comes to following Jesus. If you think you have it tougher than anyone, you're wrong. We all have the same steps of humility and faith to walk through.

That's why I was so proud of someone yesterday that came into church and repented to me for a conflict that had been going on. Someone who wasn't satisfied with letting things continue unresolved. I feel like there was some spiritual breakthrough yesterday.

*Note: That person was only able to talk with me yesterday because the band was rehearsing without me. I was out in the hallways greeting people, and the Lord opened the door. Thanks to the band, not only did they do a great job with the music, but they freed me up to minister. I'm very thankful.
