Risk: chapters 16 & 17
Yo, yo, and hello everyone! I hope and pray everyone had a great Sunday morning of worship to our Heavenly Father today! Thank you to all of you for praying for my parents and Jim Corner the past three weeks. They're done with the church leaders' seminar and they will leave Kumba today to go back to Douala. Monday is market day and Tuesday they leave to come home. Lord-willing they will arrive at DFW airport on Wenesday. Can't wait!
Now, let's talk about Risk. The sixtenth chapter is called Yes, You. This talks about taking a big breath and taking a leap of faith to tell someone about the gospel. It means taking a step of faith to do something God wants you to do: being a missionary in a part of the world where the gospel hasn't been spread much; telling a family member, friend, or co-worker about Jesus; or perhaps becoming a minister. In the book Kenny wrote about a guy who he met in Russia on a mission trip. He told him the gospel and helped him pray Jesus into his heart (I don't believe in praying Jesus into your heart, but that baptism is the only way to obtain salvation- just talking about what he wrote about in the book). He wrote about how exhillerating that was for him and Sasah (the Russian man he was talking about). The Lord wants us to ignite our faith to share it, to take a leap of faith.
And chapter seventeen is Bet It All. God's man risks it all for Him. He wants us and calls to be aggressive with our faith and beliefs in Him. He wants us to step out in faith to tell others about Him. Jesus certainly took the biggest step to redeem (spelling error?) us. He has the scars to prove it. "Scars prove your story. Scars remind. Scars show the cost. Scars motivate. Scars inspire. And scars are beautiful! Scars tell you that a Man was not playing it safe. And that Man lives in you".
That's all for Risk. Please don't take my word for it. Go out and buy this book this week. Read it! You'll love it. This book reminds me of AIM (Adventures in Missions). Those who go through the AIM program are typically fresh out of high school though some are a little bit older. They are true Risk takers. The life of a missionary is an "adventure" of a life time. Lord-willing I am going to be a missionary again and go off somewhere here in the US or Mexico and tell others about Jesus. In the future I hope and pray to be an Outreach Minister or a Spiritual Formation Minister at some point in the future. I want to be a Risk taker! How about you?
Your thoughts.
God bless you all in Jesus' name today and always!

Zack, "bib" refers to "bibliographical" info. Sorry for the confusion.
Shalom,
