Lots of Christians are good at "doing things for God." Its easy slip into doing things in the name of God that really have become ministries to ourselves. There is a richness of relationship with God to be found in doing everything unto Him, where He remains the central focus in how we do life and in how we serve. 

"There is something that happens between when we come to connect with God and when God tells us what to do... and that place in the middle IS PRAYER." Acts 13:2 illustrates this "place in the middle," of PRAYER and FASTING. 

Instead of waiting for the moment to FEEL right to minister praise to the Lord, recognizing His worthiness in every season, we are called to Praise Him at all times and in all circumstances. King David said to MAGNIFY THE LORD with him, to make Him bigger in our perspective, and in so doing we will find the moment is always right to bring praise to God. 

Ministry to the Lord is founded in presence - US CHOOSING TO BE PRESENT WITH HIM.

It's wrong for us to try and partition our lives and duties into spiritual things and unspiritual things. Since Christ took up residence inside of us, everything we do is unto the Lord and nothing is secular. Everything has become sacred.

We've been invited to the table God set for us through Jesus. There is purpose, provision, and community waiting for any who will come to the table.

It takes a family to facilitate what God wants to do and to sustain that change. We must choose to be counter-cultural and press into what being a family is all about.

What if we actually engaged with people? When you can love and be loved there is a place for who you are on the inside and who God wants you to be where you can actually thrive!

It is through the family of God where He releases what He desires. God is always the source, it is always God that releases His will through us.

When there is stuff happening and its new and exciting, we have to responsibly steward what God is doing. As a move forward He has called us to be a family!
