No Guts, No Glory
This post is a little late, but I really enjoyed the worship time we had last Monday, and your talk, Jon. The whole thing was well thought out, but one phrase you used stuck out to me: "No Guts, No Glory". Most of us have probably heard this term used in a different context (some sort of sports apparel with the words plastered on in a menacing appearance), but the truth you illustrated stuck with me. If we are unwilling to take risks and do anything extraordinary in our lives, we deprive God the glory of Him coming through big-time in our extraordinary circumstances. This is so true in my own life. My daily life is littered with "No way, I can't do that" and the like. The funny thing is, that is exactly what the Lord is getting at: You're right, you can't do that, so when you do, people will know it was me.
No Guts, No Glory.

Wow, I wish I was there for the worship night! Sounds like something I would have needed to hear. So glad we have this blogger. I agree with the whole concept of "if you're not willing to risk, you deprive God of using the endless potential you embody." It's so incredible to think that we all have this bottomless pit of potential in us...not because we are who we are, but because He is what He is. Thanks for this post. I really appreciate the thoughts.
