Morning Inspiration with James Merritt

There was a riding stable one time that actually had this sign posted for people who wanted to ride one of their horses. The sign read this way:

"We have fast horses for folks who like to ride fast. We have slow horses for folks who like to ride slow. We have big horses for big people. We have little horses for little people. For those who have never ridden horses before we have horses that have never been ridden before."

What they were really saying was, “We are going to do everything we can to get everybody we can to ride one of our horses.”

We ought to have the same sign posted on our church. We are going to do everything we can to reach as many people as we can for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Those of us who know God should be all-in in doing all that we can to reach people who are far from God. I say it again, “To be all-in you’ve got to give all-up.” To be all-in charges a price. To be all-in comes with a cost. There are some specific things we have to give up as a church and you have to give up individually if you are going to be all-in for Christ and for others.
