In your church

Mark Roberts was speaking Sunday night at Oasis about influence.  He said something that was so true.

 

He said (and I don't quote cause I'm too slow to right it down word-for-word).

 

Most people in the Bible are people you wouldn't hire at your church.  They were murderers and adulterers and liers.  But those same people were the ones that God chose to use.  You know why?  Because they were willing to be used by God. 

 

"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

1 Samual 16:7
