DWYL Tour

Two weeks ago, Youth Explosion hosted Reach Records & the "Don't Waste Your Life" Tour. It was such a crazy concert! People were ministered to by  the passion and transparent words/music from all ministers. Lecrae, Trip Lee, Tedashii, FLAME, Sho Baraka, and DJ Official gave their all that night. Here are some photos from the historic night:

"Let The Dead Bury The Dead"


 Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God." - Luke 9:60 (NIV)

A couple of weeks ago i read this verse Luke 9:60 and as soon as i read it, i paused because i was stuck. See i've read this verse so many times while going through the gospels but I never really understood it. I never grasped what Jesus meant when he said this. So when I read it recently I had to pause because I couldn't keep going through life without knowing what this meant. I know this sounds drastic but for me it was. So the other night I had this thought, the only two recorded funerals Jesus ever attended was Lazarus's & his own and in each situation both end with resurrection. He brought life to them. The dead didn't remain dead, they were both brought back to life. 

Thats when it hit me what Jesus meant when he said "Let the dead bury the dead", He's not apart of anything that death is the final outcome. He is life so he brings life. The verse doesn't mean not to attend funerals or mourn, but not to be entangled in situations that death is the final outcome. Since we are his representatives then we need to represent life because he is life. So proclaim his kingdom because that kingdom is where life was created.  

See Jesus wept out of compassion for Lazarus's family but he always knew he would flip this unfortunate death around for his glory. You may be dealing with a deadly situation in your life but No matter what it is, we are to go and speak of the kingdom of God. Please don't make light of the situation, shed light on it! But if God is not reviving that thing, relationship or opportunity then just leave it alone. 

So ask yourself, "Am I apart of anything that is producing death? Does God want to bring life to the situation?"

 If not keep it moving, be about life and let the dead bury the dead.
