No, let ...Andy and Robin,<BR/><BR/>Really enjoyed this entry. No, let me say IMPACTED. God is stewing something in me and I haven't put all the pieces together. He is calling me to a boldness I have never known before. I guess I don't have anything to lose any more. (I didn't before either, but my vision was so short-sighted).Losing my kids after losing Michael would be unspeakable, but since I know where they are headed, I know it would not be an eternal loss. <BR/> I am revisiting Matt. 28--..."of all NATIONS" Discipleship happens one by one and yet God makes the vision bigger by saying NATIONS. I liked the Stott quote. If all the Americans who claim to be Christians were worshipping...then would we be seen as a Christian NATION? If we can teach people to be living, active disciples (Christians that are evident), then would there be a greater movement in the area of evangelism because we would be a believing nation believing for the NATIONS? I am searching myself in this one and realizing we (Christians) tend to be "end-thinking" rather that "forward-thinking." Example: instead of seeing a group of students as potential Christians (end-thinking), see them as foreign missionaries or great senders because God enables them to use their gifts in the business world. (forward-thinking). I probably don't make sense, but I am practicing forward-thinking and it is already making a difference in how I speak to people and challenge them in their thinking. We DO serve an awesome God whose love for the nations is so much bigger than we can comprehend. <BR/>Until all the Nations hear,<BR/>Annie B.Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14613786231716783217noreply@blogger.com
