Reflections From Sunday Evening

The weekend was a joy!  We were reminded of how God is working in our Youth program.  Their witness is a joy to all.  We were encouraged to be encouragers. 
There were some things to learn from the call of Jeremiah.  Think about what this means for you.  Before God formed you in your mother's womb, God knew (or chose) you.  God set you apart.  God appointed you to...
The story of our faith continues to be written.
On another note...
I heard Joan Boatwright Wood, the president of the Foundation for Evangelism, speak at the Course of Study graduation.  The Foundation is working on equipping people to share the faith in the spirit of E. Stanley Jones.  (Google him.  He was a tremendous Methodist Missionary and Evangelist who spent most of his life in India...a fascinating story)
The method of evangelism advocated is three-part.  1. Relationship.  We build relationships with non-Christians.  2. Engagement.  We listen and share life.  3.  Dialogue.  We share our faith.  We talk through questions.  We do not push our ideas on others but enter into conversation.  Give it some thought.
On another note...
Spent the day at the K.  Royals win.  Nothing like watching Drew Butera get an inside the park home run.  A fun day.  Thanks Marty!
It's been a good day.  I hope you've had a good day too.
