I work at Tim Hortons where i constantly make and serve coffee and tea for those who choose to drink it. ( I'll be the first to say I hate tims coffee, but i like all their teas.) Today while at work, my mind went back to a sermon I heard one Sunday at Brunswick Street Baptist Church in Fredericton, when i was still going to STU. It was about how we as Christians need to be caffeinated as we was with Jesus. You may be thinking "what is she talking about?" While i can't remember any of the scriptures mentioned I'm going to give the Reader's Digest recap of the sermon.
Terry appears with 2 coffee-type drinks: a coffee cup from tim hortons and one from starbucks. HE begins to talk about a book that I actually want to buy now, "The Gospel According To Starbucks." I was a bit confused as how this related to a church sermon. But Terry went on to give examples of two types of Christians, Caffeinated Christians, and Decaf Christians. Decaf christians are those who want to relax in their walk with God, taking it slow, and sleep through the night. (Yes this is what he said, It makes more sense when compared to the Caffienated christian) A caffienated christian is a person who is on fire for christ and wants to be awake so they don't miss any of God's goodness, and is ready for God to transform their life. And as Christians, we must be caffeinated if we want to live in God's Purpose.
So bringing you back to the present moment. This came to mind as I am in the very center of the caffeine crazed world. I kept thinking, Am I really really craving the caffeine in my own life as I live for Jesus, or am I sitting back and taking the decaf route of life?
