The Well on Whidbey (or Church done Simply)

We have been called to be different, to shine our Light in a world that is tired of the status quo... We are not to be conformed to world, instead we are to be conformed to the likeness of Christ so that the world can be reached. We are called to bring life not condemnation in John 4:14 Jesus says "but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
This is what we are about

HIS World Cup

I recieved this in an email from a friend in South Africa, they are preparing to host the 2010 World Cup there.  Thought it was definitely worth passing on.

100 days to World Cup.
 
Your life is Gods World Cup. More than 100 years before you came to be, He made sure the stadium of your life was finished on time.Your kick-off was long coming as all the days ordained for you were written in His book before one of them came to be.
 
He paved all the roads leading to your destiny and made your paths plain so when you walk, your steps will not be hindered and when you run, you will not stumble. When there were doubts about your progress He is the one who directed you in the way you should go. He knew that your neighbors would gossip saying that you should be transferred to another country, department or town, so He stuck with you and said I who begun a good work in you will finish it to the very end. When some said it is unsafe to trust you with such an important event, project or launch, He said be still, I will teach your hands to war.
 
All the help you ever need in your lifetime has been provided by His divine power which gives you everything for life and godliness. We are ready because He makes us ready - He does not release us into the race without making plenty of room for your feet so you will not slip.
 
So arise and see how your stadium is filled with such a great cloud of witnesses. Throw off everything that hinders you and run with perseverance the race marked out for you. If there is anything He wants to go smoothly in 2010 and beyond, it is you. Because long after all the world cups have been played and won it is still you He will rejoice over. Just you.
 
SA has spent over 15 Billion rands on the 2010 World Cup, but God has spent all He had on you. This proof of payment is found in Rev 5:9 which states with His blood He has purchased men unto God from every tribe and language and people and nation. Paul says it better in 1Cor 6:20 that you are bought with a price, purchased with a preciousness, paid for and made His own.
 
You are His world cup.
