Responsibility

One of my all-time favorite superheroes, after the mighty Jesus of course, has always been spider-man. i remember watching old cartoons of him with my friends from the neighborhood, seeing him fight bad guys left and right. come to think of it, there must have been no cops in all of new york, because whenever something happens spider-man always gets there first, does no one call 911 or something?! anyway, he was just cool, and when i was a kid i thought he had the best powers, the coolest bad guys(venom forever) and just everything. as i grew up i learned a really cool new thing about spider-man, a quote that i'd never heard in the cartoons.

With great power comes great responsibility

we have power. great power. God grants us all with the ability to change lives, to heal souls, to better our own selves. If you dont believe me, take a look at the bible. the apostles did soo much, and they didnt even have iphones and computers and cars and all the cool technology we have now.

I know i'm not all that i could be, and i'm not helping out in as many ways as i could. I could give you a really long list at which point you'd walk away thinking we need to kick that jon guy out of church, but what we're not doing isnt the point. no one could do everything, be everywhere, serve in all ministries. but there is so much opportunity for us out there, and i think i'm going to try to be more responsible with the power i've been given. show up when i'm suposed to, and be awesome when i'm suposed to be, because i've got the power. Jesus said so. . .
