Great words here Vickie. Thanks so much. Motive…yes, that is what it is all about and what God looks at. I see so much in the sermon on the mount where Jesus is talking not just about keeping laws externally but the posture of our hearts…that’s what he is interested in.
I’m with you Vickie on all of us going to a deeper place of declaring the gospel, suffering for Christ, living for him-not ourselves. That is when the revolution of Christ’s love explodes around the world. And this is happening now but I long for more of it among us all, including in my own life.
Thanks for your encouragement and thoughts here. Appreciate you Vicky.

Josh,
I think your next to the last sentence epitomizes what most of us in America are striving for (myself included). We can all do with less material things. At different stages in our life we think we have to have certain thing ie: providing stuff for our kids. We hear ” prepare early for college education and retirement” when we know that God will take care of us;however I don’t think there is anything wrong with wealth if we are using it as God intended.It goes to motive.
I have been struggling with issues lately (we all have our own list), but that human side just won’t let go!
I have often thought about if we as Cornerstone Church could just let go of a few things and declare the gospel, suffer for Christ, live for Him, what awesome CHANGES would be made everywhere.
Please don’t missunderstand me. You and Rusty proclaim the gospel every Sunday and every day of your life. I just think about the rest of us!
I hope I am making some sense. Sometimes I hold back because I don’t want to come across the wrong way or hurt somebody’s feelings, but that is something I need to work on.
Just know that you and Leslie are always in my prayers,
Vicky
