lots of talk. little action.

"If your version of Christianity is limited to what you're against, you'll not likely reach many." - Craig Groeschel.

So often I hear my friends complaining about the state of their church, or where things are at currently in their life or relationship. I hear them say things like "I wish that church would offer us this" or "do this for us." 

I think the problem is that we have become to complacent in our lives.

Carlie has been talking to me about people remembering the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and how as people in America it is much harder to understand because we very seldom have to sacrifice anything in order to understand the love and sacrifice of Jesus.

We simply just don't understand.

We are willing to voice our displeasures with the church but when it comes to having to get things done we often cower and expect it to be done for us. 

We have to be willing to take initiative. We have to be the change we want to see. Now DO IT!
