Okay so like I said Sunday the sermon was about dying to yourself.

Last night we asked what that meant. We decided that it means "being in a perpetual state of throwing up your hands and saying 'I can't do this.' It means that you no longer turn to yourself for solutions."

We also need to live in a way that everything we do brings glory to God. He gave us our passions to bring Him glory and also to bring us joy. One guy who mentioned this is an art student, and he pointed out that it's so easy to paint or draw something and look at how beautiful this thing is that he made and how great of an artist he is, but instead he needs to look at it and think of how wonderful God is for giving him art.

It sounds so cliche (and there are soooo many cliches in the church) but whatever it is you love to do - do it for Him!

God, I can't do this anymore.
