I am reading Real Christianity by William Wilberforce. It was originally published in 1797. I am challenged by this thoughtful and passionate Christ follower whose Biblical worldview and dependence on the Holy Spirit empowered him to champion the abolition of slavery. 

I will most likely write more as I finish this book. But I keep asking myself as I read about this Christian leader who finished well -- What is possible with God? It brings me back to a quote that I have been wrestling with by Francis Chan..."I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit." My heart cry, my desire, my passion is to experience the adventure that God has for my life. I don't want to settle for mediocrity and I don't want to sink into comfort. The solution for all that is broken in our world is Jesus. From health care reform to human trafficking, the hope is Jesus Christ.
I want to pursue the One Hope, the One Truth, the One Way, the One Life. I know that it can only be found in Jesus Christ. As we approach the Easter/Holy Week season, may we all pursue the ONE who can change it all, heal our nation, set the captives free and heal the broken hearted. He is the risen Savior and His Name is Jesus. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is available to anyone who believes and calls on His Name!
