Hear and see, believe and act It is the time to move out in great faith and endurance. ((We will continue on)) So when do you think we will arrive? ((Impatience expressing great desire)) When do we reach the end when all is right when all is complete ((whole)) when there is peace and contentment in Christ? ((Peace not just… Read more →
Impressive is the quote saying that there will not be peace until, “the colour of a man’s skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes.” Everywhere I go in the world there is prejudice. My family sat around the table and listed 16 or so countries where we have visited. All of them have strong prejudices…. Read more →
I just finished chatting with a friend. “I don’t like my new glasses,” I said. They are progressives…that is what you are suppose to say. Progressives, by their very existence on your nose, mean that the wearer is getting old and useless. However, the truth is they mean that the wearer is happier and lives live with more ease. I… Read more →
I really like this discussion about the simple church, organic church, emerging church etc. The best quote so far for me was from John La Grou who in his review of Pagan Christianity said: “We have institutionalized, centralized, formalized, stratified, professionalized, academized, and mega-fied something that was intended to remain organic, holistic, distributed, participative, fluid, and deeply communal.” My challenge… Read more →
Missionaries go to tribes…well European missionaries…we don’t go to tribes in the traditional sense. That is true but, you know, we all have our tribe. And Leanne and I have ours. Our tribe is made of missionaries who have lived in both American and European cultures. That mix of perspectives and experiences make a ‘people group.’ We just got back… Read more →
Every life is worth living…yours too. “10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (Ephesians 2:10) “10 …I [Jesus] have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10) Merry Happy Christmas to you.
LOL… I like to read things about innovation so when I saw the Business Week article Top Ten Innovation Mistakes I had to go read it. It all makes sense but I had to laugh out loud when I read, “We don’t live in a world of change, we live in a world of crisis. It’s “change” on steroids”…” It… Read more →
I was amazed when I read the verses quoted below. God spoke through an ‘enemy’ to a group of His ‘enemies’ in order to tell them what He was doing. My mind reels with the possibilities, the ramifications. 49 Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, spoke up, “You know nothing at all! 50 You… Read more →
So focused on your goal or competitor that you miss the evidence of what is really going on and lose to the competition and fall short of the goal. “We have to get this product out and to the marketing guys, so just hit the report’s highlights and let’s get this thing approved for production.” The report said that production… Read more →
We just finished up the European Missions Research Group core team meeting for this quarter. There were four of us though the picture only shows three: Me, Scott, Andreas and Don. Our theme verse seemed to be: For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we may do them…. Read more →
