Does watching this video mean I'm stalking you? Sorry. I'll leave now and catch you on Facebook.

Hey, I was just about to start my QT when I saw this link and allowed myself 8 minutes off track, but it put me back on track pretty quickly! Thanks for this.

How did you know what happens to me?

Wow. Took time to fast and pray over a big decision yesterday, drove to Goodwill instead, cleaned my car, took a nap, then an jour before I was going to break the fast decided: hey I should pray, only to be distracted by a phone call on my new phone I didn't really need to take.

Paraphrasing: "There are many areas in our lives that are so new we haven't even stopped to ask ourselves what it looks like to be led by the Spirit in these areas."
I feel so disconnected from the Spirit when I look at it like this. But it's so accurate. Thanks for helping wake me up.

I should be going and do our thesis now.
But I just really had to say thank you for that message. Blessings to you Pastor Josh!

I'm finding this particularly relevant as a young man trying to get my life in order, be faithful with little, and move toward marriage. Thanks for the good word.

I've been feeling challenged in the way you described a lot lately. Thanks so much for sharing that! You articulated the issue really well.

Ouch. Way to prick my concience, just when I felt like it was unprickable. Thanks.
Actually, I mean that.

I was thinking that I need to read my Bible when I came to your blog. Man, as good as your site is, I think I'm going leave your website right now so I can go do my devotion time. Maybe I'll listen to the rest of the sermon later. :-)

I know it may be a bit lame to post this as a comment, but I feel compelled to write something. I have lost my connection with God for some time now, and I've become controlled by my total loss of self control..which has led to immense depression. For a while now I've stopped going to church and stopped praying..stopped everything religious in general even though I come from a total Christian background with a dad as a senior pastor for a church. I am away from my hometown for school and I attended CLC for a very short period of time several years ago, and had forgotten about the church. I was desperate to bounce back into my walk with God because I've felt so miserable with having no control over my life whatsoever..so started to listen to some random online sermons. It was then that I had remembered about the amazing sermons at CLC that I used to listen to every Sunday, and I went to the CLC page to find something..anything. Lo and behold, I found this sermon to listen to..about the very issues that have lead me to horrible thoughts about myself and how pointless I feel my life is. Thank you, for reigniting my hope in God, his plan for me, the future, and hope for myself.

I can relate Josh I ended up doing the same thing. I ended up spending so much time on the computer that I had my husband put a password on it so I can only be on the computer when he is at home. That stops me from spending time on the computer when I should be homeschooling. I'm only on the computer once a week now. I write down what I want to look at through out the week so I don't forget.
