That’s sort of what today felt like.
At Men’s Fraternity we learned about how a Dad shapes a Daughter’s heart and view of womanhood. Dan brought a message from the life of Rahab, and it was splendid. As a father with 4 daughters, this message was especially appreciated.
During my run today I listened to Matt Chandler teach from Genesis and Colossians about the relationship between God the Father and husband/wife. As a man with a wife, I needed to hear that, and I need to apply that to my relationship with Kim.
The LifeJournal wrapped up the story of Gideon, who was used by God in an amazing way–he and 300 Israelites defeated an army of more than 135000. But Gideon didn’t finish well. He made a sacred ephod of gold and allowed Israel to prostitute themselves by worshiping it. It became a trap for Gideon and his family. I want to finish well…so no golden ephods for this guy!
Tonight at our Life Group we talked about the Great Commission and the authority of Jesus. God has been hammering away at me about being more intentional in sharing my faith with others. That would be a command, not a calling, by the way.
Finally, I was asked to edit my post from yesterday, to remove a part of the text that might cause some problems for a potential reader. I’m not a journalist; I’m a pastor. So I re-wrote parts of the post. But the idea is the same. Some things are commands from God that must be obeyed; other things are specific callings, unique to individuals. It’s the most read post on my blog ever, so it was kind of weird to go back to edit the content. But it needed to be changed.
That’s my day in a nutshell. What did you learn today? Oh, and I’ll get to the foot massage soon…
