This Sunday I had the privilege to sit in the crowd (with my wife) and hear Rachel Strouf speak before our Journey family.
I knew that with all her hard work and prep. With her natural love for the story and her love for God she would do well on the platform. But wow... she did outstanding! Two services, one morning, first-time giving a message!!!!
Rachel shared about how a believers, Jesus followers we are "sons of Adam and daughters of Eve".
Sons and daughter of the most high sovereign God.
As she spoke on the deeper truth of how we can really live a life as Children of God, the Prince Caspian film helped her paint a clear picture of the life in Christ that can be ours.
As I heard her speak, I felt sad by how few of us... that call ourselves Christians stand tall and live as a son or daughter of Royalty. Not snobbish, but as chosen, gifted and willing to reclaim this world with God.
Far to many us, crawl through life and our faith.... rather than stand tall in Christ... a member of the eternal family.
Rachel was right, we live in a world full of all the great things that make great movies and stories. Love, adventure, drama, pain, hardship, battles and surprising victories. The adventure is now... it is real.... the question is are we willing to jump into the adventure, stand tall and show how being a child of the "King of Kings" makes all the difference.
Today could be the beginning of your adventure. Are you ready?
