I just returned for the Eastside Men's Retreat. It was a great time that included an epic mountain bike ride on the Pilchuck Tree Farm just across the valley from Camp Brotherhood. David Edler (former Mariner and current mayor of Yakima and pastor of the Yakima Foursquare Church) was our speaker. It was a great time.
As I thought about the them of "All of Nothing" I was reminded of how we often begin things with great intentions of wholehearted effort. I think of the way we enter marriage declaring, "We will have the best marriage. I will be the best husband/wife." We begin our careers thinking, "I will be the best _________. I will become the _______of this company." We begin our relationship with God thinking, "I will not be a hypocrite. I give God 110%."
But time has a way of making us comfortable, cynical and lackadaisical. God beckons us to give Him 100% once again -- It is a daily choice. We need to keep choosing Him in this way. If we become lukewarm than we must hear Him knocking at our door waiting for us to invite Him in (Rev. 3).
