Welcome back to church once again!

It is just so good to have all of you here. I trust that you have had a blessed and wonderful week.

Do you know it is already September? In about 4 more months or 120 days, 2010 is going to come to an end. Have you done all that you wanted to do for the year? Most of them? Half? Have you written the letter that you have been wanting to write? Have you been more loving? More caring? Whether you have done it or not, I want to encourage you to keep pressing in. Take time to pray and do all that God has put within you. Do not be afraid to try. It is alright to fail and make mistakes. No one is perfect. You have your entire church family to support you. I am here to pray with you, amen?

I think the lack of conviction is one of the reasons why some people are rather inhibited in their approach towards life. When we do not know what we are passionate about or what we are willing to die for, it is hard to keep pressing on and be excited about things that we do in life. If we, as a church do not have the conviction that without Jesus, people will perish, we will not have a genuine compassion for the lost. We will not have the desire to go for missions or give to missions. On top of that, we will not be able to pray and intercede with fervency.

Without convictions, we live mediocre lives. Anything that can be potentially exhilarating, turns mundane. We lack motivation and the drive within to excel. I believe conviction is the basis of a colorful and purposeful life. It gives us the courage to do things that we never imagined that we would do. It creates momentum. It allows creativity to flourish. It silences all fears. It gives life a different edge.

Church, I want to encourage all of you to live life with convictions! Live it to the fullest! Live up to your God-given destiny!
