I like all of the verses to the hymn "Jesus Loves Me"

Ok, so I know I didn't make much sense in house church this past sunday, and so I will be trying to organize all my thoughts and what I tried to express in a way the may actually be understandable as a reflection of what God has been doing in my heart, rather than the mumbled mess that was not so well conveyed. 

But for now, here are a few quotes from Revolution by George Barna. It's stuff we already know, but I liked the way he presented it in straightforward succinct manner. 

"Believers will not have an institution such as the local church to use a a crutch or excuse for wimpy faith. Each Revolutionary consents to be personally responsible for his or her spiritual state--whether that's growth or stagnation" Pg. 104

"Christians who are involved in local churches are actually less likely than Revolutionaries to lead a biblical lifestyle." Pg. 115 

"Compared to the 'average' Christian I encounter in our national surveys, I estimate that the 'average' Revolutionary is substantially more Spirit-led, faith-focused, scripturally literate, and biblically obedient than their more traditional counterparts who are embedded within a congregation." Pg. 116

The weather here is insane. A tornado went straight through our town, it is taking roofs off left and right. It flung a trailer on top of someone's  truck!! There is flash flooding, and hail ( golfball to baseball size) , and low-lying clouds with ground reaching lightening. The winds are hitting 85 mph!!!Our lights are goinging out every 5 minutes, it is supposed to be like this until 9pm.

The red section is right near us! On the TV, it has gone passed red, and moved on to a more severe purple!!
