Week 3

Man, it feels like this is going by so fast. Already at the end of week three. We should be finalizing the outreach locations soon, and begin praying on them. Without a whole lot of down time, it's easy for the days to pretty much fly by.


Well lets see....this week our speaker was Bernie Ogilvy talking on having biblical world view. We explored God's intended roles for Government, Church, business, the family, the individual, etc. from the beginning of creation. I must say that this week was pretty challenging. Being brought up in the Bay area definitely gives a unique perspective on things. We explored scriptures and wrestled with common assumptions that many Christians believe the word is saying. Its easy with certain assumptions to justify/condemn/believe certain things that may not even be supported in the bible. Like i said it was definitely challenging, because the way he was describing God's plan was so different than what it is today. But one main point we touched one is doing whatever you do for God kingdom. Whether it be an accountant, missionary, janitor, car salesman, whatever it may be, doing it for God. We are called to be involved with every area of life, and to the best of our ability. I will be honest and say there were a lot of things i struggled with but i'm trying to let the weeks of lectures build off each other, not just each week separately, but to keep everything in perspective and in balance.

I a bit curuous to know who read this. Do you think you could do a favor and just leave a comment saying hi? I made it so anybody can leave one, so it doesnt matetr if you're regestered or anything. It would mean a lot to me!!!

Sorry for the simple updates. Its hard to explain what goes into a whole week in a few sentences. Ill try my best to stay current!!!! I miss you all.

Hi Danny,

You don't know me and I don't know you either! I'm in your mom's book club and she gave me your blog address to check out. I am so impressed with your maturity and sensitivity to the Lord's leading, and your ability to express yourself as well! This will truly be an amazing chapter in your life, so continue to be excited about what God has for you!

be challenged, question everything, don't accept what anyone tells you as the final word. It is never our job to "nail down God". If we think we have, we probably need to start all over. Be "Born Again", go back to the start of all you've ever learned about God, Jesus, the Bible, Christianity,etc.

This process I pray will lead you into a sold out kingdom life where you love God, love people (especially our enemies, think bout Praying for Osama Bin Laden and all extremist Muslims)and live like Jesus as the Spirit guides

So what kind of songs are you writing? What's been your inspiration? I imagine you're having all kinds of experiences than lend themselves to psalms.
Best wishes,
Kim
