We are not called to be trapped inside four walls. Jesus does not desire a people who are full of religion and then crack and crumble when the rubber hits the road. We have been called to be FREE - and freedom is not spending every waking moment in a church building! We must go.

‘Go’ is making a difference. It is standing up for those with no voices. It is acting justly. It is loving mercy. It is walking humbly. ‘Going’ aims to bring the love of God to others as freely as He gave it to us. ‘Going’ is not judgmental or discriminating. ‘Going’ is everywhere – near and far, from school tomorrow to Kazakhstan next year. You can ‘Go’ through prayer and you can ‘Go’ by actually being there and doing something with your own hands and feet. Not ‘Going’ is not an option. Everyone is called to ‘Go’ in whatever shape or form that takes in their life. We only ‘Go’ by the power, love and grace of God.

Isaiah 58v6-7
6 “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:?
to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke,?
to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry?
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—?
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?”

“Freedom, not religion
Compassion, not just words
Love beyond these walls
Is what You want”
