Are we as obsessed with losing weight spiritually as we are physically? I admit to having a long way to go in both arenas. We are to throw off everything that keeps us from being spiritually fit for use in the kingdom. Whether it is sin or the sin of business, we are to focus and run our race for Christ "[laying] aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely" so that we may bring witness and glory to God.
Today, the Great Commission Resurgence (GCR) Report came out. It is time for us, as Southern Baptists, to lay aside some things and lose some weight - in order that we might be more effective - and run our race for Christ. We must look to Jesus and do what needs to be done in order to make the Gospel of Jesus known to every generation.
Read the report, watch the report, and watch the church video. Then let's do what needs to be done and GO! You are Gifted2go!
