sunday’s scuds (june 5, 2011)

It was part three of the ONLY YOU CAN BE U series on Sunday. Dwight spoke live in Canton and in full-size Hi-Definition at Dover and Millersburg. It was a great day no matter which campus you attended.

I went to Canton and watched the band bring down the house with a great “Ain’t No Mountain” opener before getting into a rock solid worship set.

Dwight’s message was spot-on, per usual. If you  missed it, make sure you catch it online or pick up a CD. Here are some of the scuds he laid down:

  • There are only three things you can do with your life: Waste it, Spend it, Invest it. Investing it (obviously) brings the greatest return.
  • You only have one life. You need to declare your focus for it.
  • The main objective for our lives needs to be: Love God, love people.
  • The most miserable people I know are Christians who treat their Christianity as though it is only moderately important.
  • Gods will = exactly what you would do if you had all the facts.
  • You don’t need more of God. He needs more of you.
  • If you truly interested in knowing Gold’s will for your life, you would surrender yourself completely to Him.
  • The reason most of us can’t handle the truth is because we haven’t experienced the grace God offers us.
  • Your spiritual gifts were not given to you for your own benefit.
  • God didn’t give you abilities so you could make a living. He gave them to you so you could make a difference.
  • My greatest ministry has come out of my pain, not my successes.
  • The world couldn’t care less about what we believe. What the world wants to know is: Do they get along with each other? Do they live out what they say they’re about?
  • Is the thing you’re giving your life to really worth giving your life to?
  • How do you know if you’re being a good steward of your life? When you’re being who God created you to be.
