Drive

I think Pastor Tim's message really inspired me again. Not only that, his character screams volumes about his relationship with God. He has recently left his church, and not only that the committee for joints missions conference (undoubtedly related to the church leaving). Side note: Joint Missions Conference is a youth-focused (high school -> university) missions conference held every three years. However, immediately after informing me that he was no longer part of the joint missions committee, he starts telling me how wonderful and awesome it will be. I should definitely go. He said he "might" go. That's okay.

Anyways, back to inspiration. I read all of 2nd Samuel. There were a couple things that stuck out in my mind. The hugest would be in 2nd Samuel 6. Unrestrained worship. Go read it and understand. I wonder if I could be able do that? Do I truly worship God with all my heart and soul?

Another thought...was what drives us to Christ? Some people are Christian, because they are driven by some emotional experience where God HAD to be there. Some people are rational, God is God, because He makes the most sense. What drives me is the question? I lean more towards the reasoning. I want to conform to His image, and I keep 1 Pet 3:15 close to my heart.
