Then We Slow Down

“You were running well. Who stopped you from obeying the truth?” - Galatians 5:7

You ever notice how rarely we decide, “Today I’m going to stop pursuing God”? It usually doesn’t happen like that. We start on fire. We’re reading the Word, praying, serving, showing up, hungry to learn, hungry to grow, hungry to tell somebody about Jesus. Then life gets loud. Work gets busy. The phone keeps buzzing. We’re tired. We skip one morning and tell ourselves we’ll read tomorrow. We miss church because it’s been a long week. Prayer becomes something we squeeze in when there’s a problem. Tomorrow becomes next week, next week becomes “when things settle down,” and somehow the God we once chased becomes Someone we’re trying to fit into the leftovers.

That’s what makes Galatians 5:7 hit so hard. Paul doesn’t ask, “Did you ever run?” He says, “You were running well.” The issue wasn’t their start. Something interrupted their stride. And sometimes that something isn’t some massive sinful rebellion. Sometimes it’s simply neglect. We didn’t run away from Christ…we slowed down.

A Bible sitting unopened doesn’t mean we stopped believing it. We just stopped feeding from it. Missing prayer doesn’t mean we stopped loving God. But eventually a starving spirit will feel exactly like what it is…weak. Then we wonder why temptation feels stronger, why our patience is shorter, why worship doesn’t hit the same, why our faith feels distant, and why the world suddenly has a grip on things we thought we’d already overcome.

Maybe Christ didn’t move.

Maybe we slowed down.

And here’s the encouraging part…you can start running again. You don’t have to fake the fire you used to have. You don’t have to pretend everything is fine. Open the Bible again. Pray again. Show up again. Worship again. Serve again. Get quiet again. Take one step, then another. The same Jesus you were chasing when you were on fire is still there when you realize you’ve slowed to a crawl.

Don’t spend another month talking about how close to God you used to be.

Run.

Here’s the blunt truth: You don’t usually lose your fire all at once…you stop feeding it one day at a time. Feed it again.

Then We Slow Down

1. What did I consistently do when I was pursuing Christ harder that I’ve slowly stopped doing?

2. What can I start doing again today instead of waiting until “tomorrow”?

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. - John 13:34

Funny how “Caesar” TAKES 22% and we budget around it, but God ASKS for 10% and we need to 🙏 about it. 🙄

Brave and Say Your Name

Stay awake, stand firm in your faith, be brave, be strong. Everything should be done in love. - 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Be brave.

That sounds great until being brave actually costs you something. It’s easy to say the name of Jesus in church, around Christian friends, or when everyone in the room already believes what you believe. But what happens when the room gets quiet? What happens when mentioning Jesus might make things awkward? What happens when saying His name could change how people see you?

Paul says, “Stay awake, stand firm in your faith, be brave, be strong.” Notice he doesn’t say to wait until you feel brave. Sometimes your voice is going to shake. Sometimes your heart is going to race. Sometimes you may be the only person standing.

Stand anyway.

Being brave doesn’t mean being obnoxious, argumentative, or trying to prove you’re the strongest Christian in the room. Paul finishes the thought with, “Everything should be done in love.” That’s the balance. Be bold enough to say His name and loving enough that people can see why His name matters.

We shouldn’t be ashamed of the One we say saved us. Jesus was there when nobody else knew what we were going through. He was faithful through the fire, present through the pain, merciful through our failures, and strong when we weren’t. So when the opportunity comes to acknowledge Him, why would we suddenly whisper?

You don’t need a microphone.

You don’t need a platform.

You don’t need to have all the answers.

Sometimes bravery is simply refusing to hide Who you belong to. Even if your voice shakes…say His name. Even if you’re standing alone…say His name. Even if believing costs you something…stand firm.

If all you have left is one breath, let that breath belong to the One who gave it to you.

Here’s the blunt truth: If you’re brave enough to claim Jesus privately, be brave enough to say His name publicly.

Brave and Say Your Name

1. Have I ever stayed quiet about Jesus because I was more concerned about people’s reaction than standing firm in my faith?

2. Does my boldness about Jesus come through love, or am I more interested in proving that I’m bold?

Your sin may be your choice…but you don’t get to choose who it hurts.

The Bigger the Sin - Luke 7:47

The woman at Jesus’ feet knew exactly who she had been, so she wasn’t worried about looking undignified while loving the One who forgave her.

Jesus told Simon about two debtors who owed different amounts, but neither could pay. That’s us. Some of us just think our bill wasn’t that high.

Maybe that’s why some struggle to understand worship, obedience, or gratitude…we’ve forgotten how much we were forgiven.

Here’s the blunt truth: The smaller you make 🫵 sin 👀, the smaller you’ll 👀 His grace. Stop measuring others debt and remember…🫵 couldn’t pay either. 🔥
