In school when you saw a crowd gathering and heard chants of Fight Fight Fight you knew something was about to happen. This encouraging message is for the church of the living God. For Christians who are facing battles and growing weary. For Christians who have become self-focused or have grown dull to the things of the spirit. Many Christians have've forgotten that there is a fight going on around us. We need to get back into the fight, we need to be strengthened for the fight and we need to remember that our God fights for us! When he fights he doesn't lose.

The culture of a church consists of things that they have normalized. The sad part is that you can normalize some bad fruit. If we aren't careful we will carry with us into the church, a culture of the sinful world and the behaviors we were raised around. The Bible says we shouldn't identify with or pattern ourselves after this world. Rather we should be transformed, changed by being in God's presence. If we are to do what we are called to do as a church, we must identify kingdom culture and work towards seeing it realized more and more in our midst.

Many church attenders assume that they know Jesus. Many people who barely attend church at all will claim to know God. What happens to someone when they truly know Jesus? Won't their life be changed from before they knew Jesus? It's very possible that today's church has surrounded themselves with talk about Jesus and people who talk about Jesus and assumed far too much. When Jesus asked Peter the question, do you love me? Peter responded, of course I love you. The word Jesus was using for love was very different than the word Peter was using. Jesus wanted intimacy and commitment. Peter was using a very general term for love. Make no mistake God longs for intimacy with us. Many Christians have treated Jesus like a roommate but God will settle for no less than an intimate marriage.
