The promise of the first step…

  • The chick pierces through the egg membrane, grows up and becomes a soaring eagle.
  • Beniah stepped into the pit, killed the lion and led David’s army.
  • The caterpillar breaks through the cocoon and a beautiful butterfly emerges.
  • David took the sling stone, killed the giant and became king of Israel .
  • Michelangelo hammered into the unformed marble stone and fashioned the masterpiece statue of David

 

Nature, history, art, life… they all bear witness to the fulfilment of the promise.

 

Just dare take the first step…

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
