Steven I love what you say, when you say, serving God should be no sacrifice at all, we owe everything to God, just like Roman 12: 1 talks about

This post reminds me of a blog article, I had written a while back where I talk about the relationship between sacrifice, and reward it is called My Obedience is worth what, http://godspaceblog.wordpress.com/?s=obedience+wo...

Awesome Testimony!, keep up the great work

Let Go,

Because I'm always trying to hold on to something God is telling me to release like unforgiveness and control

Too funny not to share with the world

Kevin! Where's Kevin!

I think the internet has greatly expanded our capability to be the Church, because it fosters connectivity in a major way. I'm not sure if the internet can replace meeting in a physical location with other believers, but it can be an awesome supplement to that, as well as a constant reminder that the church is not a building but a body of believers.

Sam, I agree with you true love definitely takes commitment

This is a great illustration Dana

(Sorry my comment was a little too long had to split it up)
Charles and Greg I want to combine both your ideas and propose that although the sum of one person life work may not add up to something great , for example pouring your heart and soul into teaching Sunday school, as long as you life contributes to some great purpose ex. Discipling a kid name Billy Graham in Sunday school, your life really is great, perhaps we don't always achieve greatness on our own but through some collaborative effort (that takes some of the pressure off ;)
