"Carest Thou not That We Perish?"

This has been a real week for our world, hasn't it? Earthquakes, deaths, hunger, anger, hope, love, hate, courage, fear.

The responses from believers in Jesus Christ is a mixture of love, frustration, carelessness and even selfishness.

God is continuing to work on my heart regarding my view of my place in this world.

When I was saved by Jesus Christ, God didn't take me directly to heaven.

I admit I haven't always given the glory to God, and have used His gifts to me, wastefully, and sometimes not even at all!

This morning, our Men@Arby's Bible Study group began a book called The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard Stearns, President of World Vision U.S. We only read the introduction, and already thoughts of conviction, hope, frustration and ideas have been running through our minds.

Like the author, Richard Stearns, I'm not perfect, but I'm hopeful. I hope to learn how to "live out your faith in public", and "be the "good news", from God's Word to us.

I encourage you to read this book, with a group of believers, and take the time to pray, discuss, and plan about what the book is teaching us.
