AHA: Immediate Action
Southeast Christian Church
Published on 07/24/2011
Aha happens when there is a combination of three ingredients. 1. Sudden Awakening. 2. Brutal Honesty. 3. Immediate Action. The first ingredient is a sudden awakening. We suddenly realize what we somehow missed beforeour eyes are opened and we see. The second ingredient of Aha is brutal honestywe tell the truth about ourselves. But Aha doesn't happen if there is just a sudden awakening and brutal honesty; there must also be action. Luke 15:20, in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, describes immediate action this way: "So he got up." Without action the story never changes. So the question is, "When are you going to get up?"
