Live The Talk

0 CommentsThursday • January 26, 2012 • by Scott

A few weeks ago the SixtyFeet team went to the Georgia Dome to attend the Passion Conference with about 45,000 college students.  In addition to feeling incredibly old, we were incredibly encouraged and inspired.  Hearing the likes of Louie Giglio, Francis Chan and John Piper will do nothing if not encourage and inspire you (with a heavy dose of conviction thrown in!).

One of the performers was LeCrae (who by the way is part of an awesome Church plant here in Atlanta) and one of the songs he did was “Go Hard.”  It resonated so much with us that it’s become one of our mottos.

When SixtyFeet began, we were so hungry. We just wanted God – nothing more nothing less. We were exhausted of the ho-hum, run-of-the-mill American version of Christianity.  Been there done that.  It was time to live the talk. We were ready to experience the power of Christ in tangible and miraculous ways.

And He answered our prayers – abundantly.  After nearly 2 years, SixtyFeet continues to work in ever-increasing ways, reaching imprisoned children in Uganda and proclaiming the life-giving gospel of Jesus Christ.  In our own little corner of the world, we have been privileged to watch God do the impossible. We have been honored to walk closer with Him than ever before.  And He continues to stretch us beyond what we think we are capable of.

And so we want to continue to go hard.  He’s worthy of our best.  He’s worthy of so much more.

Jesus didn’t say that others would recognize us by our words.  He said that all people would know we are His disciples by our love.  John 13:35.  That involves more than just talk.  A living faith is an active faith.  We are to be doers of the Word.  James 1:22, 25.  Not because we have to or out of obligation, but because we love Him.  John. 14:31.

There’s a lot of talk out there.  But as they say, talk is cheap.  What does your life look like?  Like the world or like Christ?  As LeCrae says:

If you didn’t know Him would your life look the same? Can they tell you value Jesus by the way you rep His name?
