It

It is not a model, system, or program.
It changes lives.
It attracts criticism.
For those of you that have it, you can lose it.
For those of you that don’t have it, you can get it.

These opening remarks at Catalyst 2008 by Craig Groeschel, pastor of LifeChurch, outlined his journey from the early days of ministry to today. Groeschel came to cal this powerful, life-changing force It. His powerful talk centered on these phases of life:

• Stretch me
• Ruin me
• Heal me

A summary statement that for me, says it all:

Your heart should break for the things that break the heart of God.
