velvet elvis

By shanecrider

yes that is rob bell’s -velvet elvis-repainting the christian faith. i just finished it and it rocked my world. if you have never read this book stop reading my blog and go get it now!! now go! if you have read it then you see where i am coming from. my life has changed so much by reading this book. i love it cause it is encouraging, challenging, and gets you on fire to serve God more, minister to your community and those around. the part i like best is in the beginning it says “the challenge for christians then is to live with great passion and conviction, remaining open and flexible, aware that this life is not the last painting.”that is so true. to do a work and see things change but not know what  the real big impact you are making in one life that could start a movement that you may never see. its awsome to allow God to have that much control.

 2 years ago i was introduced to the contemporary type church that is now being a big impact in the world. i’m glad i got involved in this process of “being the church”. to do what God has called me and my family to do, serve and help out the community and people who have lost thier desire for God or who just don’t go to church at all. to show them there is hope and life through Jesus Christ. i have an awsome opportunity to do this in savannah and i am pumped up and excited to get going.
