My Name Doesn’t Matter

Daily writing prompt
If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

My name doesn’t matter. There’s another name I want honored.

Jesus Junction:
Will you do
What Jesus
Wants you to,
Or will you
Do what you
Want to do?

Jesus didn’t rise from the dead
To make you comfortable.
He rose from the dead
So he can get in your head!
Listen to the risen One!

Discomfort destroys complacency and awakens Christians to Christ’s presence and reality. Mountain climbers aren’t comfortable. Comfortable Christians don’t climb spiritual mountains.

Comfortable Christianity is a Spirit-quenching trap. Disciples are ready to be uncomfortable for Jesus. They won’t stay trapped in comfortable Christianity. You can’t be God’s pioneer if you cling to your comfort zone.

If you want to be comfortable, don’t listen to and obey Jesus. If you want to be full of inner peace and joy, do! When the going gets uncomfortable, the comfortable stop going forward and settle into passive religious routine.

Jesus paid the price to Cross out our sin so that we can cross the vast expanse between us and God and live every day in intimate heart-to-heart connection with Him as we let the Spirit lead us moment-by-moment and freely flow from within us as rivers of love, joy, peace and the rest of the fruit of the Spirit.

“May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
