Burn The Ships

Former USMC General Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller had one of the greatest quotes of all time: "They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can't get away from us now!" This logic flies in the face of what our modern culture often tells us: "Stay safe, stay calm, and do what you can to avoid danger". I don't know about you, but in 2020 I am ready to live for the Lord with reckless abandon. I'm ready to lead others into doing the same. That means we'll have to get out of our comfort zones. We'll have to let go of some things that made us feel safe and secure. We'll have to "Burn the Ships". This week at Friendship, we begin our new series of that same title and begin to consider what things in our lives have become security blankets by which we refuse to follow God into the unknown and the potentially dangerous. You don't want to miss this kickoff to 2020 and all that God has for us this year. Let the adventure begin!
