Quote from article by Francis Chan

"Honestly, a nonbeliever can accomplish a lot of what you’re doing. Pray that God would lead you into tasks that can only be done by the power of the Spirit. Pray for results that can’t be explained humanly. Ask Him to do what only He can do through you. Pray in faith (James 1:6) and stop looking at the men of Scripture as unattainable superheroes. “Elijah was a human being, even as we are” (James 5:17).

As I read this, i started to think. How much do I try to "do" church without His Holy Spirit? How much do we all think we can do without His empowering? I seem to remember in John 5, Jesus saying "apart from me you can do nothing". Let us not forget that we truly need Him. Also let us not forget how truly wonderful it is that the God of Heaven seeks to have relationship with us!
