  • No Reserve. No Retreat. No Regrets.

    There were two brothers that loved competing. Every summer they would swim across a lake as fast as they could and the younger brother would always win. They raced over and over, but the older brother never won.

    Years later, after the brothers were married and had families, they came together for a family gathering. The older brother, thinking that he had grown in physical stature and stamina, challenged his brother to race across the lake for old times. They raced, and again the younger brother won.

    The older brother asked, "Why can't I beat you?" The younger brother responded, "You always save enough energy to swim back to shore. I swim like I'm not coming back."

    Live life like you're not coming back.

Limiting

God limits Himself and trusts us with the Great Commission. as part of the sermon this morning, my pastor explained the truth that God doesn’t need our help in missions. we don’t have to go to hong kong to reach the lost. we don’t have to go to unreached people to reach them. God could … Read more
