Message to BCers! Move the Dirt!
posted on Wednesday, August 17th, 2011On August 7, I began a preaching series on “MOVE” and one of the elements we have to move is the dirt in our lives. You know a gold miner moves tons of dirt sometimes before he ever finds gold. God has placed gold in each of us but the dirt has to be moved so the gold can be revealed. I remember when we began construction on our new sanctuary, dirt was the first element that had to be moved in order to lay a foundation. I have had the privilege to stand on the observation floor of the Empire State Building at a 110 stories. Did you know before they laid the foundation of that building, they removed the dirt until they hit rock. That is where they began its foundation. There is a story of an old donkey that fell into the well and nobody knew how to get him out. Their answer was to throw dirt on him. So each time a shovel of dirt would land on the donkeys back, he would shake it off and pack it down with his hooves until final he stepped out of the well himself. Let’s allow the word of God and the blood of Jesus to remove the dirt in our life. Let the gold be revealed in us, the rock (Jesus) be our foundation and shake the dirt off that others try to throw on us. Let God remove the dirt in your life! BC is a church on the MOVE!
