Launch Out Into The Deep!

It's incredibly easy to get complacent in life; to accept mediocrity and stay safely attached to the harbor.

God has bigger plans for us.  Many times we're afraid to step into the calling God has put on our heart. It seems too daunting, not feasible, even impossible. We doubt our abilities and qualifications. 

Will it require a storm to break our harbor ties? 

We won't grow if we stay in the comfortable harbor waters. When we are in this place of stagnation, force is often required before we will make a change.

Are we willing to launch out into the unknown with Him? 

It's scary to begin a new voyage. The waters may be choppy and the sky cloudy. But if we listen carefully Jesus is calling us...

"Launch out into the deep and be prepared for the catch of your life." ~ Luke 5:4

BOOK REVIEW: Relentless ~ The Power You Need to Never Give Up by John Bevere

RELENTLESS:

The Power You Need To Never Give Up

by @JohnBevere

WaterBrook Press December 2011

237 pp

In Relentless John Bevere challenges us take our faith to another level. Many Christians aren't walking in the Power available to them through the life-changing Grace of God through Jesus Christ. Why? Because they are unaware.

My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak. ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9 TEV

"If you look up this verse in a red-letter edition of the Bible, where all words spoken by Jesus are in read and all others are in black, you'll see that the words above are not black. They're red. So although these words are reported by the apostle Paul, they are not his words--they are straight from the Lord Himself. God defines His grace as his empowerment. Yet according to a survey, only 2 percent of U.S. Christians know and understand this." ~John Bevere

This was eye opening for me! How can so many Christians be unaware of the authority and power they have in Christ. Through personal stories and Scripture John dissects the true grace of God and shows us how it can bring us the power we desperately need to live in our world today.

Relentless by John Bevere is a must read for serious believers. It's an easy, enjoyable read that delivers on content while supplying the tools we need to reach our goal.

"God doesn't author hardship but uses it to strengthen us for greater conquests. He never leads us into a storm that He doesn't give us the power to overcome." ~ John Bevere, Relentless
