church.......DG.......come.......go......catalyst....hub....movement
words meant to elicit conversation and all i want is to shut down and listen.....maybe as dan and i drive to iowa today we can explain and explore each other about what's next.
when asked to come interpret a dream for pharaoh this is his reply:
genesis 41: 16 Joseph answered, "Not I, but God. God will set Pharaoh's mind at ease."
see, i long to help people and i wonder when i get to if i don't forget this part, it's not me, never me in the helping but You. helping = introducing and walking with them in and on the journey to Christ. it is a desire of my heart to help and i think more often than not i don't........so i wonder what the desire of my heart really is??
later in luke he says...go ahead be crafty and then he says what seems to contradict it ??? what do you think?
luke 16:
8-9"Now here's a surprise: The master praised the crooked manager! And why? Because he knew how to look after himself. Streetwise people are smarter in this regard than law-abiding citizens. They are on constant alert, looking for angles, surviving by their wits. I want you to be smart in the same way—but for what is right—using every adversity to stimulate you to creative survival, to concentrate your attention on the bare essentials, so you'll live, really live, and not complacently just get by on good behavior."
God Sees Behind Appearances
10-13Jesus went on to make these comments: If you're honest in small things,
you'll be honest in big things;
If you're a crook in small things,
you'll be a crook in big things.
If you're not honest in small jobs,
who will put you in charge of the store?
No worker can serve two bosses:
He'll either hate the first and love the second
Or adore the first and despise the second.
You can't serve both God and the Bank
If you're a crook in small things,

and then the daniel fast reading.....
broken and poured out, those words in both the story of the woman and the last supper.......how can i live my life broken and poured out in remembrance of what He has done ...... what things in my life need to be broken and poured out like that vase of perfume....am i confused and my brain really mush or simply stubborn still??
