I'm not one to re-watch his movies much but I've always appreciated them. He's a struggler. A seeker. At least, that is what shows up in his writing. One of the funniest (and most...2018年9月3日 · Insight for LivingJohn makes a strong case for our “knowing” we are in Christ. He uses the word FORTY times in this short book. That’s around eight times each chapter … more than once every three verses! Ya think he wanted to get this point across? You can also go through the whole book of 1 John and underline...2018年8月27日 · Insight for LivingA promise is a pretty big deal, right? John builds his first little epistle around several “assurance passages” – lines throughout the book where he pauses and makes certain these Christians understand who they are ... and whose they are. They are passages that were so awesome to highlight that...2018年8月18日 · Insight for LivingHey friend. This may seem like a bizarre question, but it is one I feel compelled to ask you. Which of the following three statements most depicts the way you see the scripture? “I can know with complete certainty that I am saved and have eternal life.”“I am not sure that I have eternal life and...Today's Short-Termer PROVERB: “Rosemary for remembrance. Stink Weed for forgetting.” You will never forget this experience on “the field” and I doubt that you truly forget the names of the people who touched you the most. But they might feel forgotten. You are miles away in your familiar...2018年6月28日 · Insight for Living,Short-Term MissionsYou already know what many of people from the Bible have in common is that they were outcasts. So let’s look at a quick list of untouchables from Jesus’ time:the lamethe blindtax collectors and prostitutes (both of whom often lived reviled)the widowed and the orphanedthe Samaritan woman at the...2018年6月21日 · Insight for LivingI’d like for you to ponder this for a moment (I’d ask you to close your eyes if we were face-to-face) and imagine yourself in the bizarre reality of this story. You are an Israelite running — running for your life — during a months-long stupor. You don’t know what’s going on … you have seen...2018年6月19日 · Short-Term MissionsCulture is like the air we breathe, taken for granted, but we can't live without it. It is so vast and so deep that sometimes we don't realise it is all around us. And as missionaries, it can be pretty scary if we don't step back and take the time to realise that as we forge forward. One of my...2018年6月15日 · Short-Term MissionsYour tickets purchased and your bags are packed. Your Bible is open and you have enough bug spray to supply a small army. It’s time for that long-planned mission trip to begin! We go on mission trips for all sorts of reasons. And just like the references in the Bible to “one body, many parts” -...2018年6月15日 · Short-Term MissionsHave you been to Honduras? To Ecuador? To anywhere in Africa? If so, it WILL be a question you or someone will ask at one point before your trip: CAN I DRINK THE WATER? Guess what? The quest for potable water actually recurs many times in John’s gospel too. For example, let us contrast the...2018年6月4日 · Short-Term Missions"He must become greater; I must become less." John 3:30 Is there actually something that could totally ruin the message of Jesus that you came to bring to your mission point? When asked this question in various mission training camps I have gotten this response: "Wait, what? Of course not! It's...2018年6月3日 · Short-Term MissionsThis is an engaging, interesting, sometimes hilarious, and most definitely a perspective-changing activity to do with your mission team before you go on your mission trip. It is typically most helpful in your very first session because then you have some things to refer back to as you contemplate...If you have ever read the book or seen the movie about The Hiding Place or if you know anything of the Ten Boom family you are going to love this story. If you haven't, I guarantee you still. will. love it! It's pretty rad ... and it happened to me many moons ago. In 1989 I was robbed in...IMPORTANT SHORT-TERMER PROVERB: “A fool and his money are soon parted; often with a going-away party.” Guys, this is a tough one. I love short-term missions. My life was forever changed by short-term missions or I wouldn't be writing about it, right? My parents were missionaries in New Zealand...Today's Short-Termer PROVERB: "Curiousity killed the cat that ate the rat that lived in the missionary's house we kinda trashed..." (Gentle Translation: Try Your Best Not to Exhaust Our Long-termers or Damage Christ’s Witness) Consider this. You're sitting on your front porch having an...Hi there! If you are here it is most likely because you are continuing to explore The Scripture Scout Missionary's Personal Proverbs. You don't even need to back track, but please feel free! Let's start Part 3 with a cute/funny little story ... Joseph came into the missionary’s house with vomit...2018年5月12日 · Short-Term MissionsHi there! If you are here it is most likely because you are continuing to explore The Scripture Scout Missionary's Personal Proverbs. You don't even have to back track, but feel free! You know as well as I do that we can be missionaries in New Jersey as well as New Guinea. But sometimes it is...2018年5月11日 · Short-Term MissionsI don't know about you, but sometimes proverbs like “pride goeth before a fall” hit far too close to home. I’ve been biting my nails about this post here. It is a joy to flesh out mission matters and it is even fun to laugh and learn at mission mishaps. I support short-term mission trips or I...2018年5月4日 · Short-Term MissionsA desire to understand the unknown. A wish to have a relationship with someone with whom we have nothing in common. There is always some mystery in relationships, a quest to find what is real and shared. And that can be a very good thing! And that can be a very bad thing ... for them. *yikes* ...2018年4月21日 · Insight for LivingI've heard it said that dogs may laugh, but cats get the joke. Years ago, I named my cat after a theologian I was studying (Barth), the middle name of a dear mentor, and a bagpipe eating muppet (I kid you not: video here). Besides having a personally funny name, he was just a really 'kool cat.'...More Posts Connect With Us!
