Sex, Love, Money and Power!

I am so glad to be a Pastor of a great church. Although it comes with a lot of work most people don't understand, and enormous responsibility, I Love It. Our church is fairly new, and we have about 30 - 50 adults on any given Sunday (for now…but not for long) but what we are doing is stuff big churches are hesitant to do. We are in a series called "Sex, Love, Money and Power" and I have to say, it has been fun but a great challenge too.

By the way...we sent this mailout to 11,000 homes in the Conroe/Willis area...and the response has been interesting...I'm not kidding...very interesting...that's for another blog :)

Church has to be more than just a history lesson about the Bible. It has to be real, relevant, and helpful with the things people really deal with in their lives. We can’t allow the schools, culture and Hollywood to define how to have success and pleasure in life. Sex, Love, Money, and Power are things we all want and desire for a reason.

The reason is because God created us with the natural drive for these things so we can have a since of fulfillment in life. Imagine life without these things...BORING...but thank God, He did more than just give us the desires. He gave us His word to show us how we can get and handle them, without allowing them to consume us. For the answer to that...you'll just have to log-on to our church website and watch/listen to the series.

The cool thing is, at 10 12 Church we will always talk about the things people really deal with. Otherwise what good is the church for? It is who we are...It is the way we will always be...and I really don't care what people think...God is my boss...not people.

It is so important to start right. The people at our church are some of the coolest people in the Conroe/Willis area. They have shown incredible support as we deal with this Sex issue and for that I am grateful. I am so glad that we can start a church that will forever be a relevant and real church. Amen!
