We have all read in the Bible where Jesus said – My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me. I have read that time and again, and probably preached on it. As I write this blog, I am in the middle of a week of fasting (the Daniel fast), and really am not that hungry. But my hunger to see those that don’t know Christ come into a relationship with Him is becoming insatiable. I am reminded of Jeremiah – when he said – it’s like a fire shut up in my bones.
I have been inspired and challenged by Chris Tomlin’s song – God of This City. “Greater things are yet to come in this city,” he writes. I am challenging our church to break free of our personal paradigms of church and remove barriers to the gospel so that we can reach as many as possible for Him this year.
