I AM THE VOICE

Lately I have been spending more time online each week reading and listening to various blogs and podcasts.
I want hear what others are doing. I want to  study how God is moving amongst other groups and congregations around the globe.
Recently a friend told me about Steven Furtick and his church, Elevation Church.

I dig what is happening at the this place. He’s a Pastor of one of the fastest growing churches in America. From 20 -5,000 in 3 years. Check out this recent article from his blog about being “A Voice.” – (reminds me of old Paradigm days.)

I am the voice of one calling in the desert, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’”
-John the Baptist, John 1:23

Most people have a voice.  John the Baptist takes it a step further:
I am the voice.

Wow!  The expression of his passion was so singularly focused that his message and identity were one and the same.  You could read it this way:
My whole life shouts: prepare the way for the Lord!”

Your life shouts something, too-whether you mean to communicate it or not.
Today’s question for reflection:
What are you the voice for?
What comes through loud and clear in the way you live?

What does your whole life shout?
