As they all come from the same mother, it’s no surprise to me that my three daughters have a degree of determination and tenacity. They set their mind to something and they will pursue it until the end. Of the three of them, though, the middle one makes me chuckle the most. She doesn’t mess […]
Read More When On A Mission With JesusI used to watch Mork and Mindy. (Click the link if you’re not familiar with the hit comedy show of the old century.) The part of the programme I enjoyed was at the end when Mork would submit a report to his superior Orson. I recall that because I wonder: how would life would be […]
Read More Dryden Shorts: Mork and Being Mission MindedThis was not an issue of the ego of Jesus needing boosting. This was an opportunity for everyone to review what place they were at in their relationship with Him. I’m referring to an episode recorded in Matthew 16. It’s just Jesus and His disciples and He asks them about what others say about Him. […]
Read More Staying Focused on the MissionBond would be interrupted from a romantic interlude because of a message that it was important to see M. At the meeting point Bond would be given the mission by M and then as he would go out on the field, he would inevitably come across Q. Here Bond would be equipped with the pertinent […]
Read More Prepared for ActionI don’t think it’s me you’re talking about. It’s someone else. You have to know the Bible really well. You have to be one of those people who went to those places of learning and stuff. You have to be able to speak well. You have to be one of those people with the titles. […]
Read More Prayer for Change – The Sent OnesI believe in the God who sends. There is a story of a boy who was in hospital because of a back injury. He had a special visitor one evening. A famous person who used to manage the club the boy supported. This manager was revered as a hero especially by the boy, so to […]
Read More He Sends YouDisorientation. Wonderful word. Use it in a conversation some time. The way you use it is when someone is evidently in a state where they don’t have their bearings, not quite in a place of knowing there they are going they are in a state of disorientation. Being lost as an experience brings about a […]
Read More Lost and SentIt’s fascinating seeing what’s the right way to carry across whatever is needed for a particular occasion. To rescue a family and a zoo it took a large ark. To maintain a presence with a people on the move it required a tent. To establish the presence among a settled people in a promised land […]
Read More The Construct For The OccasionIt is interesting when people suggest that they are useless. OK they might not be useless, but they feel useless. They feel like they cannot make any contributions to anything. They feel they are in a dead end job, doing something largely redundant that is keeping them ticking over in their seemingly dead end life. […]
Read More Contributing to the EffortAll expenses paid. I love that aspect of work. The task needs you to spend a period of time away from home. You’ll need transport, accommodation and food covered and some might even allow something in the way of entertainment. You keep a record of what you’ve spent and as long as it’s reasonable, those […]
