Greatest Lessons

We've been discussing what it means a looks like to be a Disciple-Making Disciple in our ABF (Adult Bible Fellowship) - one who not just knows more about GOD, but is personally involved in helping others become followers of Jesus Christ.

Last night I asked our ABF the following questions:

  1. What's the greatest lesson GOD has taught you this year?  How has that lesson affected your relationship with GOD and with others?
  2. What has helped you the most in your spiritual growth (i.e., Bible Study - personal or group, other Christians, Spiritual Disciplines - Prayer, Personal time with GOD, Memorizing Scripture)?
  3. What's your greatest struggle right now?
  4. What would you do with or say to a new believer to help them in their spiritual journey?
At then end of the night we read 2 Timothy 2:2 - You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses.  Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others. (NLT)

I love the honesty of our group.  There were tears, laughter, discussion, and discovery.  It was an incredible time.  We wrapped up the evening by connecting some dots. . .what we learn, how we grow and where we struggle are very important, not just for our growth, but for the growth of others, was well.  

What about you?  How would you answer these questions?
  1. What's the greatest lesson GOD has taught you this year?  How has that lesson affected your relationship with GOD and with others?
  2. What has helped you the most in your spiritual growth (i.e., Bible Study - personal or group, other Christians, Spiritual Disciplines - Prayer, Personal time with GOD, Memorizing Scripture)?
  3. What's your greatest struggle right now?
  4. What would you do with or say to a new believer to help them in their spiritual journey?

Camp is Good!

I'm home from a week at a student camp - Camp Chaparral . I was there teaching students how God created them for a place of ministry and encouraging them to involved - somehow. . .somewhere. I was also the guest of Pam & Steve Sparks. They are wonderful friends from my Lufkin days. Steve is the Assistant Director of the camp. Better give a shout out to the staff - Hey Mike, David, Heather, Doug, Tim, Nate, Govani (spelling?) - thanks for a great week. These guys work really, really hard to make your camp stay the greatest. And it was. But I'm exhausted! I'm beginning to wonder if I'm getting too old for this kind of thing? The worship was great - thanks to the brown band ! Hey Michell, Gabi, Rooster, Noah, and #14. They'll get it. Jon Randles really challenged us with his messages - 7 Marks of a Disciple . Need a speaker that speaks truth with wisdom? Get Randles. College or students. He's good. But the late nights and early mornings - WHEW!!

Question for You

I was listening to one of the local radio stations - kwyq, The Way FM, this morning on the way to the office. They were asking the question, "If you could live in a totally Christian community would you?" Responses varied. I would be interested in knowing what you think. So. . .I pose the question to you. . . If you could live in a totally Christian community would you? Why or why not? I can't wait to read your responses. Mike

Favorite Cereals

As I was scarfing down a bowl of Total I was thinking about my favorite cereals. Cereal has always been a part of our family - it didn't matter whether it was grabbing a bowl before school and sitting with my Grandpa as he at a bowl of Raisin Bran after church on Sunday nights. Growing up I had my faves. I would still eat them, but me and a lot of sugar in the morning is no bueno. As many of you can attest, it's not like I need more sugar! So I also have favorites now. Here's my list of favorite cereals: Then Cap'n Crunch - the original and all-time favorite, and breakfast with the Cap'n - how do you beat that? Frosted Flakes - don't get soggy in milk Peanut Butter Crunch - Cap'n Crunch and peanut butter, what's not to like? Wheat Chex - add a banana, mmmm. . .mmmmm. . .good! Now Total - good for you and doesn't get soggy too quickly Kellogg's Low Fat Granola without Raisins - good all around cereal Wheat Chex - still like me a bowl o
