48 hour Challenge

Posted in 48 hour Challenge on January 5, 2009 by zaneblack

So my friend Greg Stier started this thing called the 48 hour challenge.  Have you ever seen the movie fight club (I have not).  But I hear it is about these guys who start this club where they fight because they want to live for something that matters, and there is this part where they challenge each other to go pick fights.  They think how to make a life matter is through fighting, now I love UFC but I know that life is about fighting.  However I also want to make my life matter.  One of my friends (Austen) started a fight club at CCU (Colorado Christian University).  He also wanted his life to matter.  This fight club though is about challenging each other to go out and share our faith with people.  When Austen told me about Fight Club I was in, because I am always up for a good challenge.  So I want to challenge you to join Fight Club with me, but not physically fighting people, but fighting for the lives of our friends and family.  The Bible says that apart from Jesus we miss the fullness of Joy that this life has to offer, and in Jesus alone is the fullness of life (John 10:10).  I love people, so I want everybody to experience the fullness of this life, and I am willing to fight for it.  Like a modern day Spartan.  Will you join Fight Club with me, lets fight for life, fight for a cause greater than ourselves, fight for our friends, fight by sharing the message of life joy and love with our friends.  People are going to stand against us, the bible says that the message of Jesus is foolishness to people who don’t believe (1 Cor 1:18).  They are going to laugh at us, make fun of us, we will become un-cool, and maybe even cause people to get mad at us.  But like King Leonidas and the 300 Spartans warriors against an army of 1 million soldiers at the battle of Thermopylae, we are out numbered.  I believe God lives in us and will fight for us, we must trust in His Spirit to change the hearts of our friends.  So I challenge you to tell you friends about Jesus in the next 48 hours.  Join me and the growing number of Fight Club friends, who fight for love, and fight to share the greatest message of love with our friends.  Will you fight?
