Are You Living Out The Great Commission?

Your life is your mission field, are you willing to be a vessel for the Lord?

Are You Living Out The Great Commission?

"'Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and know that I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen." Matthew 28:19-20

We have all heard the Great Commission countless times, but the questions is: Are we living it out?

First off, I hope you realize that the Great Commission isn't just for pastors and missionaries - it is for every Child of God. There are no exceptions. We are all called to share the Gospel. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard someone say that they don't qualified or capable of sharing the Gospel. The devil is lying to you if you are in that boat.

The Great Commission is for everyone and it is to be a part of our daily life. You see the word "Go" is in the present tense meaning that you should be making disciples as you are going. You don't have to travel to a third world country to share the Gospel. You can share it right where you are. Where you go to school, work, and live is your mission field. As a Child of God, you are always on a mission and it's called expanding His Kingdom.

Don't be afraid to share the Gospel. Tell your story of how you came to Christ. Let His abundant love shine brightly through you so that others wonder what is so special about you. Be Light and Salt.

"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:13-16

When was the last time you lived out the Great Commission in your daily life?

I challenge you, Go Therefore....

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
