Why Care?

The most intense aspect of the human nature is the connection. Friends, family, and soon to be lovers. All different, but all very much the same.
It's the touch from one heart to another. It's the invisible connection of souls uniting. It's the connection a tree makes with the wind as it blows through the earth. The connection is invisible, yet the outcome is for all to gaze.
But why?
Why do we throw these connections away?
Why do we cast off people like old, waste?
Is it that we really have no clue at how powerful a connection can be?
Is it we are so self induldged with ourselves, that we live our lives centered around the current moment only?
Why would we do that?
How have "people", "connections", "life" become so expendable.
WHY CARE?
Dare we care enough to see beyond ourselves?
Do people care, or just simply long to exist?
Do real connections exist? people who care? who love?
and NOT just for a moment?

Staying smaller to BE bigger.

This world is built on reproduciton. There are appoximately 4.1 Births per second which works out to 354240 Global Births per day. Apparently someone dies every 10 seconds, and every 5 seconds someone is born. The world is slowly overpopulating. But the real question here is are we better off? Does "more" always mean better?

I find it amazing that JESUS didn't come and say "I'M FROM NAZERETH...I'M TAKING THIS CITY, AND PROCLAIMING WHO I AM".

He said "Give me 12". I can change the world with 12.

Church's are planting left and right. And that's great! But do we need MORE churchs? Or better one's?

Do we need more plants with 10-100 people in them. Or what if we take the ones that already have 25 people in it and make them better. Even cap off, before we plant.



I believe Jesus understood the principle of staying SMALLER to BE bigger.

The SUPERSIZE ME, GO LARGE, KING ME mentality has to be looked at to see how effective we as a church, as a people, as christians are actually being?



What's wrong with a 500 memeber church BEING the church?

Or 2,000 member church, BEING A GATHERING?

Food for thought?



Now I know alot will read and say "SMALL MIND...SMALL VISION"...

I'm 6'6 my friends. There's nothing in me that thinks small.



I've spoke in front of thousands,

let groups of hundreds,

and have found the most impact coming from small groups focused on BEING bigger.



kinda like Jesus did.
