Missional Living
Click the link to listen to Matt Chandler, Sr. Pastor of The Village Church, speak on Missional Living. It is an old message, but pretty much sums it all up for Mike and I. May we constantly re-evaluate our lives and what we are doing--never growing complacent with easy and comfort and riches, but looking to point others to Jesus. Sooooo hard in affluent and me-centered suburbs where making our kids' lives fun and insulated is the number 1 priority. Mike and I have slipped the past several months. We didn't take our kids to serve the poor a single time this summer--Lord knows there was lots of time to do so. We watched movies, played and worked on our house and bought 75.00 Sperry boat shoes for Abby for school....nothing that points to Jesus. I'm becoming the person I've preached against for the last 10 years. Time to ask for some Grace and redirect our attentions.
He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
