# 5 on the Top 10 List of scripture

Ephesians 3:20 (nlt)
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

I remember the day that this verse became real to me, and then I back up and watch what God has done throughout my life and see that our God is big and awesome.

He is able. You name it. No matter the size, the distance, how hard the task may seem, God is able to take care of it all. Do we really believe that? Far too many Christians have put God in the proverbial box saying he works this way but not that way. He can do anything. Water to wine at a wedding. A dead person living again. Death bed (or death cross) confession and salvation.

We have to know that God is able. When we believe that and live that, our lives will take on new freedom and creativity. Think about it?

Our minds and lives are tied to the human possible. God is not tied to anything. The only way God is tied by is what we don't allow Him to do in our lives, and He is also tied in our lives by what we don't acknowledge He has done. Get that it. It is huge.

That verse not only tells us that God is able, but it goes on to tell us that we must honor and praise Him in everything we do. Look further in Ephesians 3. go back a few verses. God is able.

That changes our lives and others. That will change our church. And by the way, I am SO EXCITED to tell you that The Community Fellowship as the attitude and understanding that God can do what He wants to us ... the old phrase "We've never done it that way before" won't hold us back. Get a grip 'cause God is able!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
