Podcast appearances and mentions of lissa lucas

God wants you to find the purpose that he has for you in your life. God has good things planned to bless you and to bless others around you. We often celebrate the day that we are born, but hardly do we recognize the second most important day. That is when we find our why.   Welcome back to Redemption Church. My name is Chris Fluitt and I want to greet all you wonderful people here with us IN-PERSON, as well as all of you joining ONLINE.  Special shout out to Lissa Lucas. Thank you for your encouragement, Lissa. We are starting a brand-new sermon series today called “Born for This.” Born for This Mark Twain once said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” We know and celebrate the day we are born.  People bring a cake with candles, balloons, and gifts to celebrate your birthday. We have reminders on Facebook and google calendar to help us keep up with birthdays, but that other important day Mark Twain spoke of the day we find out “why;” that day is not so widely known or celebrated. You were born, but do you know why?  What is it that you were born for? Why were you placed on the Earth?   Today I want you to find your ‘why'. Find your Why Where should you look to find your why? Look within? Humanism does this when it focuses on human potential. You are broken, confused, and aimless, and looking inside yourself just leads to more of the same. We become self-centered when we look to self. Look beside you? This is like trying to cheat off your neighbor in math class. We have looked to the celebrities… only to find they are depressed and sad. We have looked to our governmental leaders… only to find they have no answers but to blame the other guy. We have looked to the highly intelligent… at least we were told they were highly intelligent, but we have found them to be proven wrong over time. While we appreciate science, let's remember that today's science is often proven wrong with tomorrow's evidence.  Look to the creator!   If you want to truly understand a device or invention you must talk to either the CREATOR or the OWNER'S MANUAL. We have a creator, and He has given us an owner's manual! It is the Bible!   Have you been looking to the creator and what He says in His manual?  If not, you might be getting some things wrong.   If you don't know the proper use, you are likely to misuse. (Toilet Brush example) Just today I was standing in front of my mirror, and I was going to comb my hair, but I could not find my comb or my brush. I was about to yell at my kids, but no bother. I looked down and found a device that would work just as well. It was just sitting by the toilet for some reason, but this brush really worked wonders with my hair. I am not sure what they call this thing, but it has many great uses… back scratcher, you could serve pasta with it, and perhaps even brush your teeth. Our society has not looked to the creator and His manual to understand the proper use of things like… Marriage, sexuality, strength, wealth… so we painfully misuse them just like I mis-used that toilet brush.   This is why we must look to the creator and consult his handy user's manual. If you will look in God's Word, you will find He says a lot about you.   Ephesians 1:11-12 (MESSAGE) It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone. Are you looking for your why? Look to the Creator! Look to Jesus.  In Jesus we find out who we are and why we were created.  Before we knew Him, He had His eye on us and had designs for us. Colossians 1:15-17 (MESSAGE) 15-18 We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God's original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible,

Rabble-Rouser Extraordinaire, Lissa Lucas (www.lissalucas.com) takes a break from the slog of campaigning for her WV House of Delegates seat to catch Amos, Ashwin, and Randolph on how things are going with her.

#Resist is soooooooo 2017. It's passe! Ditch it, dudes! 2018 is the year of the #Revolt. Come. Let's get started. Look over at the Mountain State of West Virginia where a new generation of progressive change-makers are standing up. The teacher unions are edging towards a state-wide strike and bringing with the public employees and many other unions in solidarity. In Florida, we suffer another tragedy but the dangerous balance is upset when the students, the future of the country, start speaking for themselves and their desire to change the detente on gun laws in this country.
