Snippet
“We are born to act”, said Mantaigne. This is a truth of our
experience that each one of us will recognize. Every person is
animated instinctively from youth by the drive to discover, to
procreate, to transform the world. Even when, later in life, we
are constrained by weaknesses that reduce us to inactivity, we
are still characterized by a desire that the world drive us to act if
we could. (To Act According to the Gospel Xavier Leon-Dufour
Introduction)
Scripture
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and
multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish
of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing
that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:28 NKJV
Song
Dare you to Move Switchfoot
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
What happens next
[Chorus]
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
[Chorus]
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before
Sentence Prayer
Help us to serve in our weakness, Lord:
And to see your power come down. Amen
