The Constant Rub!

The Constant Rub!

I have told people, “It can’t stay the same and change at the same time!” And I would say if we stop and ponder we all would quickly agree. Nothing profound but this cuts deep! (Mark 10:17 – 22 The Rich Young Ruler)

Verse 21: Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 22 At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad,……

There are some things that jump out of this text:

1. “….loved him.” – Are you willing to do the hard work?

2. none of us are ‘lacking’ in Christ……. answering the 'why' can be liberating!

3. My goals aren’t big enough – Results; 'going away sad' - Revelations 3:21

Do our goals line up with God’s goals for our lives….. or is there a constant rub?


"When the desire to become ______ is greater than your reasons you don't - then you are ready for change!"
