freewill offerings

Exodus 36: 6-7: "Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: 'No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.' And so the people were restrained from bringing more, because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work."
What an amazing moment in the life of Moses. It would be the equivalent of our government writing a public notice in the papers and on local media, "please stop paying taxes, because we already have more than we know how to use." Crazy.
Yet that's what happens when people sense the very presence of God... craziness abounds.
How much of Christ's commands are irrational to the educated Westerner?
What does Paul mean when he writes, "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
What is missing in our daily lives that we have settled for complacency? Where is our passion for the things that stir the heart of Jesus?
As we consider how to apply spiritual disciplines to our lives, may we learn to fan the flame of pentacost anew. Crazy? I wish. Crack-heads? Cool--That's basically what they said about the apostles when the Spirit annointed them.
So where do we start?
