in the beginning...

So this is my second blog, a product of a bible study I'm teaching giving me renewed motivation to write down things God is doing in the world. Who will read it? I don't know. Who will care? Not me. The purpose is to get ideas into the minds of those who will listen. It's my vision, my passion. I want to see a generation who will rise up and fulfill the great commission in every corner of the globe, who will question the status quo and refuse to subscribe to consumer-Christianity, who will love the world so much that it is compelled to ask why, all the while marveling at a God we cannot begin to understand, knowing that the life we live now is but a precursor to "Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has ever read: which goes on for ever: in which every chapter is better than the one before." (CS Lewis, The Last Battle) Above all, I refuse to live a mediocre life - a life that doesn't count. The account of that attempt, like a fish fighting against the very fisherman about to throw him back in the water, is what follows. May you be blessed, offended, encouraged, and changed...and may God bless the journey.
