Keep Moving Forward

Yeah, that’s  a quote from Walt Disney and the slogan from the movie Meet the Robinsons(I may or may not want the child from that movie…) I found this absolutely so applicable to my life and the life of a Christian. Last night at the John Mark McMillan concert, something stuck with me that he said:

                “Where worship exists, music happens.”

Essentially, this means that worship is not music. Music happens when worship is in your heart. Singing is something that comes natural (well…for some people, others have different forms of worship).

                So this got me thinking. I know it can be scary when I think sometimes, but just hang in there for me.

(Oh yeah, I like flow charts)

This is the thought process that went through my head last night. It was a little strange, because after I thought about this, he came back and talked about the same thing. We are saved FOR something.

                Many times, as Christians, we focus on the life that we had before Christ. The point of salvation is the most important moment in our lives. However, if we do not move forward, we become stuck in the past. Our life is a process of reaching the final goal. We are saved FOR a greater good. We are saved FROM something, but more importantly we are saved FOR something.

                Our point of salvation is oh so important. SO, SO important. However, if we linger too much on what we are saved FROM, we lose sight of what we were saved FOR (sorry about ending the sentence with a preposition, I couldn’t find a way to reword it).
                Both elements of salvation are extremely important. Don’t lose sight of either. I have talked about what we are saved from before (Amazing Grace pt. 1 and 2).

Keep Moving Forward.
