If You're Going the Wrong Way.........

I picked up this anecdotal book in the Cokesbury bookstore recently. Written by James W. Moore, senior pastor of St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Houston, TX. Here are a few notes: Life is meant to be a journey in which we draw closer to God. At any given moment we are either moving toward God or away from God. Jesus said, "I want you to take up my cross and live in the spirit of unconditional love, unwavering forgiveness, amazing grace, unflinching commitment and sacrificial service." We may like to sing about the cross, but we're not sure we want to live like that! When you are going a dangerous way, a destructive way, a potentially deadly way--there is only one thing to do: Turn around as fast as you can! With God turnarounds are allowed! God enables and empowers turnarounds.
