Time Across the Lake

July 18, 2009

Due to my prolonged silence here, several have asked if I’ve stopped writing, and while I’m grateful anyone noticed, that’s the furthest thing from the truth. I’m simply so deeply in the mission field right now (yes, our professional work can be a mission field, in fact, it MUST be so) that the time I might spend writing here is instead being spent on my face before God… praying, meditating, dreaming, and simply praising Him for the season I’m in now, and the one that is yet to come. So this is my time across the lake, to be alone with Him, so that when I return I will have a fresh new word to share… a new song to sing. Until then, I pray my past writings… especially my 3 part series on the “God Concept,” can serve as fresh water and manna for anyone in need of a non-religious, anti-dogmatic window to a life lived all out for the gospel of Christ. Until then… please read the Gospel of John, then Matthew, Mark, and Luke until the words in red are written more deeply on your heart than anything else you have ever studied or memorized or enjoyed. These are the words that are Life, and if anything competes for your attention or your affections more than these, you might want to jump right to the 6th chapter of John, verses 22-70 to see what that might imply, and I hope you find yourself, right now, standing among the very few who are willing to live solely by every word that proceeds from the very mouth of God. And if you’re already there, go find a child in genuine need, lift her up and suffer for her, for Christ’s sake, not for your own.
