Philippians 3:7-8

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ (Philippians 3:7-8 NIV)

Imagine the freedom that will come when we are willing to lose the garbage.  

Our Pastor beat the "obedience drum" yesterday - that's where it's at.  Are we willing to trust and obey God.  Toss away the garbage from your past and eliminate any way to go back!!!

If you want God to do something new  - then stop doing the same old thing.  

If you want God to change your life - you have to be willing to get started.    He doesn't make you. 

Phil. 3:13-14 - one thing I do , forgetting what's behind and straining forward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
