Are you the police? No ma’am. We’re musicians.


We’re getting the band back together.

I remember the classic movie of the Blue Brothers.

Feeling like they are called for a special journey they were going back to band members, some of which they owed money too.

Why would they go back to people they owed money and didn’t have money?

For the end goal in mind.

They believed they were on a mission from God to save the orphanage.

I think about this as I look at how Paul was always followed by a bad group of people.

Acts 17:13…

“But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up.”

Once again I will tell you this did not represent every Jew at that time but just a certain group of them.

It made me think of what Jake and Elwood had to go through.

They knew they owed people money and some people would turn their back on them, but they went and jumped in with both feet.

They believed they were on a mission from God.

When you look at your life, what is your mission or goal?

Some people have a goal in life but never reach it because they don’t go for it.

“If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else.” Lawrence J. Peter

Not many people get in a car and try to drive halfway across country to a city they have never been before and plan to end up there.

Paul had a goal in mind to share Jesus with other people.

He knew this goal came with major consequences as life goes on, but he did this because he knew his goal was to share the message of Jesus.

The same guy that used to make fun of, throw Christians in jail and have them murdered, is the same one that is trying to bring people to Christ.

Paul had a goal in mind.

What is your goal in life?

Paul knew his and went All-In for his goal.

Are you going all in trying to accomplish your goal in life?

If not, today can be that brand new start.

Start heading for the direction you want to go.

Today is the day!

Do something with it.

Have a great day.
