I’ve only just a minute, only sixty seconds in it.
Forced upon me, can’t refuse it, didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it,
But it’s up to me to use it.
I must suffer if I lose it, give an account if I abuse it,
Just a tiny little minute, but eternity is in it.

If Albert Einstein cannot be considered a genius, who can? Yet, he said, “I have no special gift. I am only passionately curious.” There it is. Passion and curiosity.
The Church should be the most curious, imaginative, creative place on the planet. After all, the Spirit of the Creator lives within the people of God.

Expressing faith is vital … Jesus said, “When the Son of Man comes (his return), will he find faith on the earth?” And remember, without faith it is impossible for us to please God (see Hebrews 11:6).
Faith is trust. It’s obedience. Without works, faith is dead (James 2). There’s more though …
It’s amazing when we consider to whom Jesus gave his highest praise as he looked for faith. It wasn’t to Peter nor any disciple. It certainly was not to the religious establishment in Jerusalem—Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, scribes, and priests.
It was to a Gentile Roman centurion who understood how authority worked (alignment) and how it was released through commanded speech (Matthew 8).

Have we misunderstood God? He’s throwing a ginormous party! Let everything you do breathe with heaven’s party spirit.
Does this challenge your perception of God? Or, does it encourage you?
