Living Intentionally

God has handed every believer a supernatural, Spirit-empowered gift, but like a birthday present bought for someone else, it isn't meant to stay in our own hands. We are built to belong to one another, not just sit in the same room, and it's only when we live intentionally with our gifts, out of love, that we start living like Jesus and the church becomes healthy.

God has called every believer, not just pastors, to point people to Jesus by loving them like Jesus. That calling only works when we stop trying to stretch our lives in competing directions and instead live intentionally around Christ, drawing our strength from His power rather than our own.
