Receiving Christ.

Mark 9:33 - 37 They came to Capernaum, he asked them “ what were you discussing on the way? “  They kept silent, for on the way they had ARGUED with one another about who was the greatest. And he sat down and called the 12. And he said to them, “if anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.” And He took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms he said to them, “whoever receives one such child and my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.” The mother stood at the d oor of her daughter’s school bus long enough to prove she cared not for the traffic piling up around her. With confidence, she conversed with the driver about whatever was more important to her than all of our busy agendas.  And then, slowly, from the bus descended a steel walker and a small framed girl reaching for it. Her brightly dressed mother assisted her descent from one world into another. Into the busy street she...

another abundance.

1 Corinthians 4.9-13 ..for it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession like men condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to men. We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored! To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless. We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless. When we are persecuted we endure it. When we are slandered we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world… I think I must have fallen asleep during this lesson in Sunday school class. Somehow, I missed this part. Because over the past few years, I have faced some difficult days and for whatever reason, the framework I was using to understand those confusing times wasn’t the one above. I thought hard times were a sign that I...

The "WHY?" behind our upcoming move abroad

Hi friends, As I was doing the laundry yesterday, it occurred to me that not everyone I wish could come to our benefit concert will do so or be able to. I wanted so much to be able to explain to you what those in attendance tonight will hear more about, which is our decision to follow God’s “call” to Southeast Asia. When we use the word “call” to talk about things like this, we sometimes assume people know what that means. And not everyone can truly relate to that experience, so we would like to explain it a bit. Simon and I have individually been impacted by cross cultural living, and how the story of Jesus actually is very relevant across cultures. It is not an American story, not even a Western one. It is a truth that crosses cultures, geographical lines, and age old religious systems. It is as true now as it ever was, so when we say God “called” us, we literally mean that. We experienced a moment when Jesus, who is real, laid out a life before us that was too...
