God is calling me to live radically

God is calling me to live radically and I want to follow my passion to share Jesus with everyone around me, making disciples, and planting Jesus communities from city-to-city. When I read Luke 4:43, I see the passion of Jesus and want to embody his heart to seek and save that which is lost:

“I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other towns as well; for I was sent for this purpose.”

I love this verse because I am realizing more than ever the call on my life to embody this Good News and to be willing to go to any and every town that Jesus calls me to for the purpose of spreading the Name of Jesus. I don’t want to live for anything else!

I read what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:14, “the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the Gospel should get their living by the Gospel” and am trying to figure out how to best follow this. I am seeking help from the church to walk with me in financial support. If you believe in what I am doing, I would love to talk you more about what God is calling me to and how you can be a partner in this.

I’m a big fan of “mission”

I think a lot of churches have it backwards by expecting non-christians, non-religious, religious haters, apathetic people, people of other faiths to come to their church to hear a message about Jesus.

What has resulted is an attractional model in the Church today, which instead of being God-pleasers only, we resort to being Man-pleasers and compromise the Grace and Truth of the Gospel.

I love Alan Hirsch’s book “The Forgotten Ways” because he really examines this “seeker sensitive model” well and also shares how Jesus calls us to live out mission in the church.

Go to where non-christians are and reach them on their turf! I know it’s a radical idea, but if only we as the church embodied this more.

Listen to what Alan Hirsch says about this and being “missional”:

How do you share with a Muslim?

I have learned so much from reading The Camel: How Muslims are coming to faith in Chirst and I would highly recommend it if you have muslims coworkers, friends, family, or neighbors.

It provides great tools to share the message of Jesus with Muslims by contextualizing the Gospel message to them. There are also incredible stories of how Muslims are coming to faith in Christ around the world, and it will be such an encouragement to see how God is moving in Power among Muslim communities.

May it bless you richly.
