Intimacy before Impact!

Over the past few weeks I have had many conversations with men that are coming to realize that they need more time with God and to spend less time trying to fight for their right to lead. Often times I need to be reminded that I need to wait on the Lord to prepare me for the dreams that He has given me.

Ever feel like a race care with just enough fuel to get to the starting line ?


This was an email I sent out in August of 2007
As I read over 1 Timothy chapter 1 I began to see something that I never noticed before. We all know that a Christian’s life should reflect the gospel that we claim to live by. The thing that God showed me in 1 Timothy is just how crucial this matter is. Timothy was charged to lovingly encourage those in Ephesus to live a life that is impossible to live without walking in the Spirit of God. There is no way to live any part of the Christian life with out God.

The responsibility to share the Gospel is huge. The even bigger responsibility is to live the Gospel out. This charge is the most critical of all. I know that my heart has desired to see people saved from a life of destruction that ends in a horrible place that is beyond our imagination. I also know that the life I live doesn’t always display the Gospel the way that it should. Thank God for new understanding. Understanding that we will have very little impact on this world and the lives around us if we seek only to have knowledge about the Gospel. The impact will happen when we seek the heart of God through the continual pursuit of intimacy.

Intimacy before Impact!
