False Motion



    Ever pull into a parking space right as the person beside you starts to back out, and for a moment your perception is off and you think you are still moving?  You slam on the brake thinking you’re about to drive into the building yet you’re not moving the person beside you is just backing away from you.

  A false sense of motion.

 I wonder if that isn’t what many churches are experiencing today. You see with so many in the world today backing up very quickly from the direction of a God, those who are sitting still might seem like they are going forward when in fact they are not moving at all.

  In reality, we are in park, not growing, not advancing, just stuck where we are.

  I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14

  We certainly don’t want to go backward but we shouldn’t want to stay put either. God’s call is an upward one. We have to be about our Father’s business. Those that hide their talents in the ground are condemned. Going before God and saying we are right where you left us wouldn’t get any better of response from Him. It might seem like we haven’t lost any ground but we have since we are not moving forward.

 Let’s make sure the church is in the right gear not in park, not in reverse, but in drive- moving forward to our eternal destination.
