Too often…. In our homes, in our relationships, and in our worship:

• just going thru the motions

• just doing the todo list

• just getting it done, getting by

• just a room mate

• just general info

• just emotionless, expressionless, disconnected, disinterested, unenergized, not looking into the face

• not even because too busy or too tired, not because lazy, but just bought into a lie!

Our fascination… perhaps because… we relate… we know exactly what they look like in great detail… because we’ve been one or… we are one !!!

Scripture:
Revelation 3:1-6 To the Church in Sardis……I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. …6 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Mark 2:22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, he pours new wine into new wineskins."

Quotes:
Princess bride: “He’s only mostly dead” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbE8E1ez97M

“He's just taking up space and wasting air.”
“I think he's dead, just not buried yet.”

6th Sense: "I see dead people…Walking around like regular people. They don't see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don't know they're dead. I see them all the time. They're everywhere."

God is the God of resurrection, the giver of life, so LIVE. He has put Jesus in you. Imagine life beyond the rules. Unwrap Jesus and set Him free. Look for dead people this week. Do something to get their attention. Share a story you're not supposed to share, something funny, something mysterious, something unexplainable. Invite them to a party; show them what they're missing. Infect them with life. Bury the dead person and let Jesus raise up a new person with an unending, exciting, outrageous, extravagant, and adventurous life worth living. Spiritual Zombies - Ron Rose August 08, 2011

WAKE UP!!! O SLEEPER: for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Ephesians 5:14

Thots

27 is also the number of times the word “love” is mentioned in 1 John 4. Actually just in the 2nd half of the chapter. (7-21)

27 times is an extravagant number of times. God must have been trying to get a point across.

Love: done, lived out, shown, sought after, cherished, freely given, an attitude, action, expressed and responded to, pointed to, overflowed, felt, filled with…

He did it very well. I could easily list more than 27 ways He has shown His love towards me
