The Second Stand meeting!

Hey blog readers, I know you've all been waiting for the second Stand meeting... all two of you.  Anyhow, the meeting started out with an icebreaker, which ended up failing along with the whole point of the game.  Our attendance was 13, that's a 162.5% increase if you were all wondering.  Some guy gave his testimony, but that's not important.
This week, we had Daniel again.  We are the Stand are we not? well that's only half of the battle.  Daniel reminds us that we need to Stand but don't stand still.  The lesson started on Isaiah 6 and he named the "chunks" as he calls it. So, the first chunk was "God's Majesty".  Basically what Isaiah was saying was he was in awe of God when the seraphs (angels) came and spoke which shook the posts of the doors.  That's pretty amazing, I would be in awe too!  Chunk dos was "man's depravity".  What does that mean? This means that we are unclean and Isaiah knows it.  He feels real bad when God comes and catches him off guard.  3rd Chunk is "Man's salvation".  Isaiah realizes that there is hope because of salvation.  So often in life we think..."oh I'm saved" but we don't take time to share the gift with others or be thankful.  The next chunk is 4, "God's calling".  well, Isaiah realizes he needs to change.  He lays down his life before God saying, "Here I am, Send me!" responding to God's call. So.. have you gotten to that stage yet? Do you realized how great our God is, if so, what are you doing about it? 
Yea so we all figured out that we needed to do something. We are all saved, so let's serve God instead of living our lives for ourselves expecting to go to heaven when we're finished pleasing ourselves.
Great message Dan!
