Break Out of your box

Today lets do something that we never do in our high tech world of text messages and emails; lets write a letter to someone!  Write a one page letter to someone who has inspired you to be a better person seeking after God.  Include the story of how they inspired you, what it changed inside of you, and how you are acting out that change now!

Break In

We have been talking to a ton of you about your struggles and doubts about God in your life.  Read this and pray it over yourself.  Keep this in mind when you are struggling with fear, doubt, and insignificance.  

The Work of Christ

By the Cross…

I am Ransomed

The Son of Man Came to give his life as a ransom for many.  Matt 20:28

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption (God has purchased us with his blood), the forgiveness of sins.  Col 1:13-14

…with your blood you purchased men for God  Rev 5:9

You are not your own; you were bought at a price. 

1 Cor 6:19-20

I am Atoned For

…justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement through faith in his blood.  Rom 3:24-25

He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins.  1 John 2:2

This is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

1 John 4:10

Pikes Peak take 2 ;)

This was one of fusion's first posts and it was on my heart to post it again!  I hope it encourages your heart as it did  mine!

Pikes Peak.
In Colorado Springs where I lived before coming to Georgia there is a massive mountain that overlooks the whole city called Pikes Peak. It towers over everything and you can see it from pretty much anywhere in the city. When you climb or drive to the top of this 14,000 Foot high mountain, there is a café and look out where you can see far and wide. But my favorite view of Pikes Peak is at night. Many nights I would be driving home from a long day and would look up to the top of the mountain. On the very top of the mountain is a light. It shines all day, every day. 

Jesus tells us in Matthew 5: 14, “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.” 

Every night as I looked at this mountain and the light on it, God reminded me that I am suppose to be a light to all those around me and it takes sacrifice and hard work to get to the top of that mountain to shine your light.

So What?
Where has God asked you to sacrifice so you can be a light to those around you? Has he asked you to step out of your comfort zone to talk to people or to be more excellent with how you act around people so they can tell there is a light inside of you that shines on them? Think of 5 ways that you can be a light to those around you today.
