Hey College Crew!
After reading the 1st chapter of Sex God the biggest idea that stuck with me is the statement Rob made when he said "Because with every decision, conversation, gesture, comment, action, and attitude, we're inviting heaven or hell to earth. "
WOW!!
You mean to tell me that everything I say, do, decide on, give gestures to, invites heaven or hell to earth?!? Talk about making you think about everything you do every moment of the day! I cannot believe or wrap my mind around the fact that God has given ME and ALL OF US the opportunity to invite Heaven into our private lives and to the world through every...and I mean every thing we say, do, act out, or decide on.
Talk about endless possibilities...endless because Rob Bell says EVERY decision, EVERY conversation, EVERY this, EVERY that...not simply every 5th decision, or 14th gesture. No, every single one!
With this God-given ability we truly can give as Rob Bell describes people "a glimpse into another realm. Into a better way. The way of God." (page 29)
I feel truly empowered by MY Creator because He has given me EVERY chance to invite Heaven into my own life and the life of those I interact with every day...I need to go out and get more invitations...because we are going to have a HEAVENLY PAAARRRTY!!!
Which "realm" are you inviting?
See you guys throughout the week
Just a housekeeping item...I am currently in Chapter 2 of the book and plan on posting comments this week and ealry next week dealing with the reading up to Chapter 2. Our online chat will then begin on Wednesday the 17th again at 9:30 CST. When you are signed into AIM instant message me at Ump4fun, so I can invite you into the online chat.
I would love to hear what you all think of the "every decision...invitation" idea and of course anything else from what you have read so far.
Peace!
