In Acts 1:11 after Jesus had ascended into Heaven, the angels admonished the apostles for standing around looking into the sky. "why are you still standing here gazing upward? He's coming back!" ---Some are still just standing around with their hands in their pockets. Get busy! Jesus is coming back, you have some preparing to do. So what...what is that thing that is holding you back from being what God had in mind when He made you? Drop the excuses. Excuses are for losers and liars. The man with one talent (see Mt.25) really had no talent, because he buried it and did not use it for his Master. All the lazy servant had was a chorus full of excuses. He had apparently not heard the adage: "if you're explaining, you're losing." Many of you took the time to write down what's holding you back recently. Some of you used the excuse of no writing utensil or whatever on hand. The bottomline is that we all know what's holding us back. When...when will you get off the couch? To know what to do and not do that is sin. Talk-time is over, quit standing around...He is coming back! Tell someone today, what you are going to do, so you'll do it. Is your problem: the love of money, forgiveness, unconfessed sin, obedience, ungodly relationships or the last one (we'll talk about Sunday)?
