I'm Not Who You Think

I started this blog almost 5 months ago. It was birthed out of my experience at Urbana. Urbana is a christian missions conference that took place in St. Louis, MO. While there I felt God calling me to missions but not the way you might think. I am not missionary like AT ALL.

I like running water. I'm not a fan of roughing it. I can't STAND bugs or wild life. As I like to say, Nature is not my friend. And I don't really have a desire to travel. When you think missionary you think of someone who goes to Africa or Haiti or India or some other hurting country. To know me you know that just ain't me.

God isn't the type to put you in a situation where He knows you will fail. Then I realized, there are hurting people in my neighborhood. There are scared uncertain people on my block. I pass them everyday on the street. My mission field isn't some country 30 hrs away its right in my backyard.

Then I had a Moses moment. I said to the Lord, "Who am I?" (Exodus 3:11) And He said, "I am who I am. 'I AM has sent you.' "

So here I am. The Unlikely Missionary.

I've got my faults, I'm not perfect, I mess up, fall down, get turned around and all of that. But I serve a wonderful, loving perfect God who always welcomes me back when I do something stupid.

So the journey begins today. It took me five months to get it together but at least I didn't take as long as Moses to get my act together. Lol.

Podcast Episode 3: Living in THE Truth

I started a podcast! We are 3 (three) episodes in. I talked about a Jonah moment over on Facebook and this was it. God had placed on my heart to start this podcast a year ago and I sat in the fish a whole year. But, I finally decided to be obedient and the fish spit me out and I'm so glad that I did. This has been a good ride so far. God is good. Episode 3 is up now. In this episode we talk about truth. In this crazy world we are in today the truth is in the eye of the beholder. We are living in our truth. But God is the same yesterday, today and forever and in God's economy there is one truth, THE truth. Jesus is the way, TRUTH, and the life.  Thanks for listening. The podcast is on all of these platforms. So please listen and rate.

Suicide Does Not Mean You Are Going To Hell

People make me sick sometimes. When someone loses a loved one no matter how they lose a loved one it is incredibly difficult. To tell them that their loved one is going to hell because they committed suicide is inhumane, unkind, unloving and untrue. Nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus  Romans 8:31-39 If you are saved you cannot lose your salvation. God doesn’t take His gifts back once He gives them. Once you accept His gift of salvation He doesn’t take it back. Peter literally said he didn’t know Jesus 3 times and he got into the kingdom. What happened to compassion? Jesus was always sensitive to the grief and suffering of others especially when a family member died. He himself cried when his dear friend Lazarus died ( John 11 ). I don’t know where this idea that you automatically go to Hell if you commit suicide came from but this is another one of those Sunday stories that were told to you so you wouldn’t do it. Nowhere in the Bible does it say this. W...
