We are like the people of Israel who have abandoned their first love and turned to idols. Repent! Return to the God of your youth! Understand the depths of God's redeeming work on the cross.

Is serving the point or is why we serve the point?  Do I serve to control?  Do I serve to increase my importance?  Do I serve for personal security?  Are my motives selfish?  God has shown us a way out of all this into deep love for him and others.

Have you prayed a critical prayer and nothing happened?  Have you backed off believing and trusting God because you feel God can't be trusted?  God will let you down.  I have!  Jesus understands those feelings.  Jesus went through it too with his disciples.

In this year God wants to reveal His heart.  As we spend time in His presence as Moses did.  We need to be baptized with fire.  God is an all consuming fire.  Once in the presence of God - stay!
