Project: Philippians

I don't want to walk with God anymore.There. I said it. I'm just kinda fed up with the whole thing. I've been doing it for years and I've just had enough. It was fine for a while, but, to be perfectly honest, I just feel like I've outgrown that stage in my life and I'm ready for something else. So I decided to come on this podcast and make a public announcement: I really don't want to walk with God anymore.... I want to RUN. Walking is for newbies and slowpokes. I want to pick up the pace and kick it into high gear. I want to stop strolling and start sprinting. I want to snuff out "This little light of mine" and replace it with a raging, dangerous, pyroclastic wildfire. I don't want a casual relationship with the Savior; I want intense blazing intimacy. What I'm trying to say is, I'm hungry for MORE: More light, more heat, more holiness, more boldness, more love. More JESUS. I don't want an easy, safe, meandering kind of faith -- a casual stroll in the park kind of faith. I want a tightrope-over-Chicago-with-no-net kind of faith. A lactic-acid-all-over-the-next-morning kind of faith. I want to sprint to the end, I want to finish hard, I want to cast off every hindrance and the sin that so easily entangles and run the race set out for me. I want to press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.No more walking for me.I want to RUN."One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me." (Philippians 3:12)kevinmote@live.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ." (Philippians 3:7-8)~~~~KevinMote@live.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"...though I myself have reasons for such confidence. If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless." (Phil 3:4-6) Hosted on Acast.

Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. (Philippians 3:1-2) Hosted on Acast.
