Chasing Daylight

So I am not a reader. Seriously. I haven’t finished a book since I was like a sophomore in high school. That’s when I learned how to BS through my papers and assignments.

With all that said, I just finished "Chasing Daylight" by Erwin Raphael McManus. This was a great book. It talks about "seizing your divine moments" and doing what God calls us to do; even when it is hard or we don’t necessarily have everyone’s blessing. I wont bore you with all the details; I just encourage you to read it on your own. The one point I will tell you about comes like 10 pages from the end. It talks about the definition of the word "church." The definition is "to be called out." We always hear about Sunday Christians, who go to church, but never do anything with what they learn. But the question is, how many of us meet those same criteria, because I know for a fact that I do a lot, and I lead a small group. The call is and always has been to take what we learn on Sundays and our personal study time and apply it to our lives, in order to be a good reflection of our God.

So with all that said, go buy this book, read it and take action. And if you see me, remind me to do it as well.
Thanks for reading. Post a comment.
