The Art of Letting Go




The Art of Letting Go

To let go is not to care for, but to care about.
To let go is not to fix, but to be supportive.

To let go is not to judge, but to allow another to be a human being.
To let go is not to be in the middle, arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their own destinies.

To let go is not to deny, but to accept.
To let go is not to nag, scold, or argue, but instead to search out
my own shortcomings and correct them.

To let go is not to regret the past, but to grow and live for the future.
To let go is not to cut myself off.  It's the realization that I can't
control another.

To let go is not to try to change or blame another.  It's to make
the most of myself.
To let go is to fear less and to love more.

Fantasy Church?

Do you like the game of football?  Are you a NFL fan?  Do you play fantasy football?

                                                                     

There seems to be another popular game very similar......Fantasy church.

The goal of a real football game is to score points and win real games.  In fantasy football you get points for the statistics in a virtual world.
A fantasy church is where people find themselves rooting for things that are of a virtual world; things that will pass away.  A fantasy church is more about prestige, notoriety, or having a reputation about having events that are trendy and cool.
Yes, if the end result of a churches presentations, the attendance contests or the contemporary music is yielding eternal results, God be praised.
But, the "GOAL" of real church is about scoring points for the real thing - the eternal Kingdom of God.
          We must never lose sight of spiritual growth and caring about lives being transformed!
                 Become a fan of The Kingdom of God.....let's win souls for Jesus Christ!
