I was reading in Colossians this morning and one verse stuck out to me about what could possibly happen after a high of a mission trip.  Obvously we feel as if this was the best week of our lives.  So many opportunities opened themselves up and so many relationships were solidified or began.

However,  in Colossians 1:22-23 it says, “Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body.  As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.” Sounds good so far right?  That is how we feel after being seperated from all the junk that usually keeps us from really walking with Christ.  Then, verse 23, “But you must CONTINUE to beleive this truth and stand firmly in it.  Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News.  The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.”

The key in that verse is to CONTINUE. We can’t forget what happened in Russia but we also can’t stay their.  We need to push on and continue to through and remember what we did in Russia with language barriers can be done here in America without the language barriers.  That spiritual high we felt in Russia can still be accomplished here in America if we choose to Live Different.  Just as Paul was saying, “I have been appointed as God’s servant to proclaim it.”  All of us have been appointed to as God’s servant as well.
