Risk
Yo, yo, and hello everyone! I am now prepared to write about the book Risk by Kenny Luck. I have now read the first three chapters of this book now. Chapter one is called Inner Turbulance. This is about the inner struggle we sometimes have when we sence what God wants us to do and we just need to swallow hard, take a deep breathe (spelling error?), and jump in. To do this we need a right view of God. We must realize He is God, and we are not.
Secondly, we must have a Settled Identity. "When you know who you are, taking big risks makes sence".
Third, we must Sacrifice Like Christ. Like the late missionary Jim Elliot said so well, "He is no fool who gives what he can not keep to gain what he can not lose".
And last, Kingdom-Build. "It's time to start thinking outside the box and dream- dream big God dreams". In short, this chapter is about taking a big jump for God in faith.
Chapter two of this book is Mach 1 loyalty. In this chapter we see that Jesus wants and demands our absolute devotion and attention. So many men have a such a hard time with the loyalty thing. In John 21 after Peter had denied that he knew Jesus three times, Jesus asked him three times if he truely loved Him. Peter said that he did, and Jesus said "feed my sheep" and told him how he would eventually be killed, thus bringing God glory (Jn. 21:15-19). When we give God our complete loyalty it sets off a chain reaction that will take off in your relationship with Him.
And chapter three is called One Man's Obedience. This chapter talks about the chain reactions between Adam and Jesus in Romans 5: 18-19. Adam's act of disobedience set sin in motion in every person who would be born into the world. But Jesus' act of obedience set a way to make things right in motion. When we sin we are following in Adam's steps. When we give our lives to Christ in baptism we set our lives back to where God wants us to be. Now, which of those two represents what you and I are right now? Which one do you and I want our lives to be like? I want to be like Christ and set the world right, how about you?
It's Wenesday again. Please be praying for the AIMers in Lubbock right now as they prepare for their mission fields. Please pray for the AIMers who are currently on their mission fields.
And please pray for my friends Elijah and Kristen Peters and their team as they prepare to go to Auckland, New Zealand and please pray for Rob and Denyce Hindman and their team as they prepare to go to Moscow, Russia. Thanks a bunch! God bless you all in Jesus' name!
