Holy Cow, that gets on my last nerve, which is why I think it happens to me so often. In case you don't know what I'm talking about I'll explain. Some of you know that this is my biggest pet peeve (however you spell it) When the light turns Green it means GO!!! Except in Anderson, it means stop and wait until the car in front of you has already gone through the light and made it five miles down the road. Once that has happened, then turn around in your seat and make sure the people behind you are blowing flames out of their mouth in anger, if this has not yet happened, stay put. I mean how hard is it? You see the light turn green, then everyone moves at once, it's soooo simple and makes perfect since. I'm not lying, my apartment is 5 miles from the school and it took me at least 20 minutes to get home today. Mostly due to me sitting at the same GREEN light 3 times before getting to go! You may think that this is a funny story, but it's true, not only on the road but in the church! First take NewSpring for example, this past Sunday before church there were three food pantries in the Anderson area that were empty. After church on Sunday these THREE food pantries were no longer empty. Now that's what I call everybody moving when the light turns green. No one stopped and waited, they just moved!! When GOD turns the light to green you don't ask questions, you just move.
Going back to the story, I was becoming totally and utterly frustrated. Not because we weren't moving, because we were. Yeh, everybody's accelerator seemed to work when the light turned RED! I mean I seriously, we wouldn't move when the light was GREEN, but the moment it turned RED, we started moving. This takes place all the time within the church and among the christian population. People receive orders from God all the time and it's like they are cemented to the ground, but the moment he says NO that's when we decide to move. Again NewSpring, God says something like "OK Perry"...."Give it to em"...."That's right give em the GREEN light." Then one Sunday Perry comes out on stage and says something totally retarded and undoable(I know that's probably not a word), like um.... I don't know, "God wants to see 1000 people come to Christ in the month of August." There's no way that can happen right? Wrong, you know why? Because when the church was given the GREEN light, nobody froze and started looking around, they just went. When the church was asked to write a name on the wall of a person they would bring to church next week. Did the congregation just sit there and wander, "Does he really want us to write on the walls?...What if it messes them up?" NO!! They didn't, they moved and thousands of names were added to the thousands that were already up there. When they received the GREEN light they moved!! That's why this Sunday is going to be one of the most amazing days for Christ in the history of the church. Besides what looks better on the walls, than the names of people who are about to meet Christ? STAINED GLASS WINDOWS, sorry our walls house the names of Christ's future children, rather than the spider whose built his web up in the corner of the Window! Trust me I know, I used to have to clean them. You would be surprised what you find! Christians it's time to MOVE, THE LIGHT IS GREEN!!!!!
