The Well Palmdale, CA

This Sunday we celebrated Palm Sunday.  I know many were undable to be there, and I must say that you were missed.  Worship was very powerful. 

This morning as I sipped coffee I thought a lot about what we talked about on Sunday.  If you missed it, we focused on how God does not desire us to be a church made up of people like those who greeted Jesus with palms saying "Hosana!".  They wanted a Savior who could serve them and wipe out everyone else.  It was all about lifting them up, and not about the cross.  I could go on and on, but I won't. 

For those of you who are coffee drinkers you know the joy that comes with a cup of joe in the morning.  But you also know how that last little bit tastes when it has been sitting in the pot, baking away.  Well, this morning, I forgot about that last little bit and it sat there for hours...baking...and getting thicker and thicker.  I decided to give it a whirl, and I think my whole body quivered.  When coffee sits too long in the pot it becomes sludge and is undrinkable.  The same is with us.  When we sit too much and all we do is listen to the occaisional sermon, then we become stale.  God pours himself into us...lights us on fire with His Spirit, not because he wants us to sit around and bake...but so that we might pour ourselves into others.  You are being filled for a purpose...to go out and fill up others.
