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.

TALKing with God (via Kindling)

The need for and importance of prayer has pushed me also to do a lot more study of prayer—in the Word, in books on prayer, in the lives of prayer warriors through the centuries, and of course in the teachings and life of Jesus. Though there are conditions, approaches and models that imply depth and complexity, at its essence prayer is a conversation with God. With that as a starting point, God gave me a simple acrostic to guide me in my praying: TALK. T—Tell the truth. . . A—Ask boldly. . . L—Listen. . . K—Keep at it. . … Continue reading TALKing with God (via Kindling)

The sun had set. We were ready to be home after a great out-of-state trip. As we exited the turnpike, a work crew was repairing the toll booth that we usually breeze through with our transponder. So, Mike quickly turned into the exact-change lane behind two cars. We soon realized nothing was happening. The car in the booth area simply sat, the toll gate barring the way. No arm reached out the window to toss coins in the basket. After more than five minutes sitting and wondering what was going on, I decided to find out. I got two tracts … Continue reading What’s Twelve Cents Worth?

Ginger Snaps

“Ginger snaps! They’re my favorite cookie!” Isaac exclaimed. “I don’t know, though… If I had to choose between sugar cookies and ginger snaps…” Edward and Isaac had just started labeling and loading my son’s boxes into their moving van. Since I knew they were coming, I made the cookies the day before and invited them to have some when they were through loading the truck. When we gathered around my kitchen table, I put some cookies in a Ziploc bag, handing them each a bag, a napkin, and a tract, The Passage. “This booklet talks about freedom in Christ,” I … Continue reading Ginger Snaps

Taking a Risk

mikeandsus

“I’ve seen far too many Christians who are more than willing to travel halfway around the world to volunteer for a week in an orphanage, but cannot bring themselves to take the personal risk of sharing Jesus with the co-worker who sits day after day in the cubicle right next to them.” ~ Lee Strobel Does fear hold you back from sharing your faith? I just read an excellent and insightful blog post that explains our fear in a new way, which should help us understand what is going on when we “hold back” from sharing with others. This fear … Continue reading Taking a Risk
