Sounds more challenging than it really is, I think!
Only certain things would be updated because you cannot really update the Gospel aside from helping people relate to it better in this modern society and culture. But the Gospel is the same and always will be....it's a world changing message every day!
There is a lot of advise on how to become a better at anything one might want to become better at in life. But being better at life itself comes from the self-help book we study each week in our church.
We are moving forward in our church and in the seasons! It will be about 18 degrees today and it feels like spring is just around the corner! The forecast is for temperatures in the low 30's next week with the possibility of rain! Not sure how others may think of the late winter rain but in my mind.... rain melt snow, reveals dirt which in turn the sun can warm and soon all is warm and sunny again!
As the seasons change and progress, so we here at the BBC-Legacy also are progressing. We are growing at least in our view of the horizon and we can see there are many tasks to be done! Our world view is changing from only encompassing small ideas and consistent ministries to understanding that with today's technology, and a heart for God, we can and will impact the world for Christ!
Though the Legacy House is open, we are holding a dedication service for this ministry on March 8th at 7pm here in Blomkest. The official grand opening with then be on the 15th of march. The possibilities and the way God is and will be using this small church is changing and growing!
The Code of the Samurai is a book I peruse often. It has some very good insights into the training and actions of the ancient Samurai. It speaks of conditioning your mind to "keep death in mind". The basis for this conditioning is that time is short. There are many obligations to our work and our families, and to God that we must continually be diligent in fulfilling! It states that with death in mind, we will work day and night to fulfill these obligations so as to not leave them undone!
As a Christian, there are so many tasks ad obligations we are called to accomplish before we are no longer able. We are motivated by God's grace and the assurance of our salvation to reach others as God's grace has reached us!
Let's allow the spring to rejuvenate our hearts and bodies as we are called to connect with the world for Christ!
