Running The Race

I think people often take it for granted how well we have it here in the United States.. I can include myself in that area.. I completely take for granted sometimes my rights.. and me being able to speak my mind about anything.. I don't have to fear persecution ..

Seems like almost everywhere else it is a whole new ballgame..
A little while ago a read a book called Revolution in World Missions.. K.P Yohannan wrote it..

K.P is the director for the Gospel for Asia.. they have more then 16,500 national missionaries.. they operate 54 bible colleges in several nations and heads up a church-planting movement that has planted more then 29,000 congregations..
Intense.. Awesome..

The Book is a narrative on K.P's life.. and is defiantly movie material.. make this into a movie.. I would watch it.. probably again and again.. it is that good..

Back to my point though.. really got me thinking about the third world.. how lot of people don't even know Jesus, the Gospel.. the Truth.. and the things believers put themselves through to go and spread the word... that is amazing..

Its intense lifestyle..
Shoot I'm all for living on the edge..
It's kinda reminds me of my skating days..

I want you to picture this in your mind..

Here we got a 30 stair handrail.. the rail comes up about 3 ft off the ground.. you approach the rail from the side.. you jump.. your skates cling onto the rail.. your left foot crosses the rail and points right.. while your right foot is pointing straight out.. your soul intact to the rail.. You are on.. and only because it was all or nothing getting there..

My point is.. you can't approach a handrail and just do 50% of the work you need to do.. you will actually hurt yourself worse then 5% or 10% effort. at least with that low of effort you can catch yourself and break the fall.. no if you do 50% and are up there.. you are going to come down HARD.. its going to hurt.. and it might make life difficult for you the next 6-8 weeks..

Same thing with the believers in a society that condemns Christ.. Its all or nothing.. you got to make it count.. and fast..because who knows when you are going to be on the run..
My blessings to all those people.. who risk there lives for what they know is Truth.. Christ is our Savior.. and He will be back for all of us.. fo sho!

Christ is definatly doing a number on my Uncle.. Jeff gets a DUI.. by March there will be NO DRINKING..and possibily NO MEDICATIONS.. whats a he going to do?

Hoping he will turn to Christ.. and come back to him..
I am also hoping he was serious about me coming over and doing a Bible Study once a week.. That would be grand for him and myself.. no doubt..


Thats all for now.. Keep the Faith..
God Bless
