As God humbles us with weather patterns and demonstrates His power in creation, our attention should be to follow and obey Him.  He alone is our safe place.  My dad says, "The safest place in the world is in the midst of God's will."

I am always amazed at the violence that accompanied the first century proclamation of the gospel!  I am equally amazed at the overwhelming response to the gospel in the midst of the violence.  These churches continued to grow daily in spite of the violent opposition. There was a sense of awe in the presence of a holy God.

Today, I believe the gospel has been lulled to sleep!  Most christians rarely share the good news with others and most churches are on a steady decline.  People believe that everyone goes to heaven when they die and that this life is the only thing worth pursuing.  Rarely do you find a christian who is truly living for eternity and giving their life for what truly matters. 

Am I sleeping as well? It a good question to ask.
