With great power comes...

Great responsibility! Thanks Uncle Ben, I can go feel guilty about my life now.

Doesn't it seem to get frustrating knowing that we have such an incredible calling to live up to? I mean, here we are, holding out the word of Life to a lost and dying world, making our goal to share the message of reconciliation that our Lord has commissioned us to go and teach, and I feel overwhelmed just asking someone if they'd like to come to church!

We as believers in Christ have a HUGE responsibility...why? Because we've been given GREAT POWER. We've been given grace: saving grace from our sins and hell and death and the penalty and punishment of separation from God and eternal torment. Then there's daily grace that we receive each morning, new mercies from our faithful God that we can't exhaust before sunset. There's forgiveness, love, mercy, strength, promises, a future and a hope, answered prayer, joy unspeakable, a past that will be redeemable, a present that is sure and possible, and a future that is heavenbound.

There isn't MB space on my hard drive to delve into the compassion, kindness, wonder, power, truth, splendor, glory, sovereignty, holiness, righteousness, fear, and perfection of our God. All I can say is we've been given so much...too much to mention in a hapless blog. With that great power comes a great responsibility--you take it from here and apply it to yourself.
