Post Game Thoughts...

The Wings lost & the Pistons lost but we won tonight! It was another amazing night; God continues to blow my mind. Tonight we had about 7 hands raised when asked if any of the students wanted to know Jesus & when they came forward we ended up having 25 students respond! Things have been wonderful here in Taylor so far & its only the beginning. I'm pumped for what God is going to do here!

Quote

Here is a quote that I read today. It made me stop and think...

I do not pray for success, I ask for faithfulness. - Mother Teresa

What do you think about that?

So my first Sunday at TCC went well. I spoke on "What's It Worth" key verse Acts 20:24. We had 3 people give their hearts to Christ! I'm really excited about being here at TCC, I can't wait to see what God os going to do here.

By the way, check out the video that some of our leaders & students made to introduce me. What do you think?

I want more of JESUS!

I so desperately long for more of Christ - I must be more like him. John the baptist hit the nail right on the head when he said...

John 3:30 - He must become greater; I must become less.

As I reach out to people they don't need me, they need him; I don't need me, I need him.

I need...
1. Christ's character, not my charisma.
If its just my charm it will fail, but God's character gets through anything
2. Christ's compassion, not my concern
If its just my concern then I can blow people off, compassion can't take a step without being led by God.
3. Christ's cause, not my charge
If its just my charge & excitement then eventually it will flame out; God's cause never dies.
4. Christ's cross, not my change
I could change things all I want but it means nothing if that change isn't a result of the cross.

The closer I get to Jesus the less of me that exist. 

Getting closer to Him,
Coach Luis
