A Living Mystery

mikeandsus

“To be a witness does not consist in engaging in propaganda, nor even in stirring people up, but in being a living mystery. It means to live in such a way that one’s life would not make sense if God did not exist.” ~ Cardinal Suhard I love the idea of being a living mystery to those around me who do not yet know our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Can my life be explained apart from a living Christ within me? Do we, as Christians, make Him attractive to others? Of course, I also still advocate that we must … Continue reading A Living Mystery

A Chat with Angel Gabriel

mikeandsus

I had just picked out some envelopes and fifty-percent-off Christmas cards. The gal who helped me find the envelopes was very friendly and very pregnant. “When’s your baby due?” I asked. “January 20th,” she smiled. I held out a tract. “This is for you if you’d like it; It’s about Jesus.” She accepted the booklet and I wrote my email address on the back. The clerk behind the counter had rung up my purchase and waited as we had this conversation. I turned to him and noticed his name tag. “Angel,” I commented. “That’s a good name for this time … Continue reading A Chat with Angel Gabriel

The Bowler

… I quickly found out that this near-sixty Southern gentleman attended a church near ours.

“It’s gotten too big, though,” he admitted. “I feel like a number.”

“Do you have a small group you can go to?”

“Oh, I bowl professionally every other Sunday so we have extra income for things we want to buy,” he excused himself. “My wife says I need to get my priorities straight.” He went on to explain how his bowling schedule would be busier in December.

“You must be very good.”

“I am,” he beamed.

Chuck went on with his inspection and I prayed for God’s guidance. I immediately sensed that I should give him a copy of Randy Alcorn’s The Treasure Principle. I had several copies in the house for gift-giving to specific people. I didn’t believe and didn’t act on that impression. . . Continue reading The Bowler

One Way to Feed the Hungry

mikeandsus

I’m not a shopper. However, I DO like to share my faith with people I encounter, so when I reluctantly had to make a shopping trip a few weeks ago, I still looked forward to going because I never know who I might get to talk to. I had a fun conversation with the check-out clerk, which I’ll save for another post, and was driving out of the parking lot, ready to get home and back to my list of projects planned for a very busy day. I was fifth in a line of cars, waiting to turn out of … Continue reading One Way to Feed the Hungry

A Light in Jerusalem

mikeandsus

Labib was running late… “May I see your identification?” An Israeli soldier barred his way…
“Stand against the wall,” the soldier ordered, indicating with a nod of his head that he should line up with several other Palestinians and wait…
“May I say something to you?” he said in passable Hebrew to the soldier who was poring over several sets of papers. “I am a Christian… What I mean is that I am a believer in Jesus Christ, not just a Christian by religion only. Do you know about Jesus Christ? I will tell you about Him!” And so Labib began to tell the story of his Lord.
… While most Palestinians dreaded these inevitable checkpoints that severely restricted their mobility, Labib had come to enjoy the encounters. And he knew the freedom he experienced at these moments was something worth sharing with fellow Palestinians.

Excerpt from Light Force by Brother Andrew Continue reading A Light in Jerusalem
