Our world is filled with all kinds of religious ideology, with all kinds of gurus and self-proclaimed prophets and other religious leaders all saying they have the truth. Christian faith is the genuine article. Everything else is an imitation. Pastor Greg Laurie says it’s not that the world is lacking for spiritual influence. It’s a collision of competing messages.

The world has yet to see what God can do in and through a man or a woman who is totally committed to Him. So, will you say, ’Here I am, Lord send me,’ or will you say, ’There they are, Lord, send them’? A mark of spiritual maturity is when we say, ’Lord, use me.’ Pastor Greg Laurie urges us to be the kind of believer the Lord can count on, all in for whatever God has in mind.

Moses saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brothers. So he looked this way and that way and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. Moses checked for witnesses before he sinned. Pastor Greg Laurie says avoiding being seen is a warning sign about our behaviour. Instead of just looking this way and that way, it’s important to look up. Support the show: https://harvest.org/resources/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information....
