Discussing reformission with a dozen guys sounds like a daunting task. But when the Stecker/Graves Mens Bible Study met last night, there was no resistance or reluctance from the group when it came to sharing where we are at when it comes to bringing the social message of Jesus Christ to the culture. We had one guy go as far as to rededicate his life last night! That's huge!
And what is the culture? Are we going to set limitations? Are we too sheltered to make a difference?It's really all over the place. However, I believe it is no more of a daunting task today than it was in previous eras. But our line of attack will have to adapt and overcome some diverse impediments. Improvisation may be our best instrument. The only unswerving focus of the past will be that the scripture NEVER changes ... merely the delivery.
Not bad prep work for this weekend as a group of us head out on the Boxtown Mission. Even this little ministry has changed radically over the past 6 years. There is no more Boxtown. But the unreachable are still there. There is only one Dallas shelter. But it feeds and does not reach out.
What are we to do? Endure. Keep going. Asking Him to go before us and prepare our hands.
Hebrews 13: 1-3 1 Keep on loving each other as brothers. 2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. 3 Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
They say sex sells. Violence sells. Everything but peace sells. Why? Most people want peace but are not willing to pay the price... losing your own life.
Next stop... Scorecards. Who's buying?
