Roots
350 degrees, 4 turns, 16 minutes = medium well steak hot off the barbeque. Give me a nice hunk of beef or chiicken, a good barbeque, the right spices and I am laughing. I know how to barbeque. I know what to expect when the conditions are right and I know the quality of food that is produced - delicious. For fear that I am setting myself up for failure the next time you are over for a bite to eat, work with me on this illustration. Rick Warren in his book "Purpose Driven Life" says "God is not just the starting point of your life; He is the source of it. To discover your purpose in life you must turn to God's word, not the world's wisdom. You must build your life on eternal truths, not pop psychology, success-motivation or inspirational stories." To me, that statement describes perfectly, Transformissional Living. Being established on a foundation that gives you the confidence to live the life God has called you to. Authentic, passionate and fun. It should be a life that comes as naturally as what you know you can do well, like cooking steaks. Key Passage: Colossians 1:9b-10

Authentic Worship
What is authentic worship? Is it a solemn, quiet reflection? Is it loud, exuberant dancing? Is it a certain kind of song, prayer, sound, etc? In this passage, we see Peter and John come to gather with the church for one reason: to seek God together. Authentic worship happens when the church is pursues Jesus together in all of life.

Called To Be An Authentic Christian
Jesus did not come to change our circumstances...He came to change us. When our circumstances are not to our liking, how do we react? Are we authentic in our Christianity or do we forget on Monday what we professed on Sunday?
