community, a hard pill to swallow

I figure that I should be consistent in my posts. So, here we go...

I havent done too much today. I slept in this morning, went to the dentist, talked online and then went to fuel. After fuel we went to sunbow and had some grub. It was a good time.

I felt a little awkward at Fuel because the topic of the night was community. The sermon was a hard pill to swallow. I still dont know how I feel about it. I feel that I should really invest into the new people within our community. I want the culture to change within our group because it isnt one that reflects the qualities of God. Actually, I think it has the ability to cause people to know God less. That isnt good at all! There are some deep spiritual issues within our community. I dont know where they come from and have no idea what is really going on. All I know is that something needs to change.

Since I know this and have experienced it myself, I have a responsibility to be a part of the change. I guess I have to be a part of the redemption process and that excites me. I might say something at our leadership meeting. I am not sure but I feel that the problem needs to be addressed.

I am a leader and people look up to me, so I need to use that influence to change the culture. I dont think that I am a miracle worker but I think that God could work through me.

We shall see.
