Here-is-what-I-did-yesterday

• 06:32 is up after sleeping late last night, now read Job 39:11 Will you rely on him for his great strength? Will you leave your heavy work to him?
• 06:57 is walking to devo mtg w/ everyone else. I am going to earn my merit badge ;-)
• 07:44 heard a wonderful devotional msg: our faded life will cause wreckage to the train of people who depends on us for sign of the way.
• 09:14 heard Dale Henderson: "We don't know where we are going, therefore we are going nowhere." (We=the whole people, not just leaders)
• 09:17 heard about Core Values (from top down), "But are these things really reflected in the lives of the people?" (from ground level)-reality chk
• 09:33 heard, "core values are what we believe AND what we do." And these values come from somewhere, so look for that source.
• 09:38 heard "The root of the problem is that we haven't figured out how to love God consistently." (Therefore Gospel renewal is key)
• 09:45 #is confronted about the idol of my heart. Dale frames the GC2 in the authoritative and enduring aspects.
• 09:56 heard "our purpose is to Love & to 'making learners'". Illus=Ac.2:41-47 (esp. the work for the needy)
• 09:59 heard "a Healthy church is a body of believers where the MAJORITY are truly living out a GC^2 lifestyle, fully devoted disciples of Jesus"
• 10:09 heard Growth Cycle, "Arrive Dreams Beliefs Set goals Focus outward Structure Ministry (top) Past-orien Inward Crisi Lose ppl Shrink No hope"
• 10:13 heard Crisi explained "What do we need to change?" Congre, Ldrship, Location, Vision, Style? Biblical Foundation, Org Struct, Ministry Prg?
• 11:02 listened to the challenge to get to the MAJORITY of the congregation Leaders & Disciples-makers rather than Disciples-in-training.
• 11:21 were asked, "How do we structure for reproducing?" (I paraphrased the architectural metaphore to botanical one).
• 13:06 finished lunch & trying to VPN back to work for Theater Festival work. I can never go on vacation ;) 45% laptop battery remains :(
• 14:24 is challenged on the issue of intentional investing on the few to reach the many.
• 14:28 heard Dale's covenant: "I will invest in you if you are willing to invest in others".
• 14:45 were rebuked for not teaching his children on stewardship early enough.
• 14:48 heard "if you are not bogged down with fear of collect your salary, then you would be more bold in teaching about giving."
• 14:51 heard some insight that, "We are still concern too much about applying the Gospel to others and NOT to ourselves."
• 19:52 became "close friend" w/ MSH this afternoon since I took a dip w/ him in the hot springs ;-) Now I am listening to MS Nguyen L Ma on Ga.6:17
• 19:59 listen to a msg on "Complain" Ga.6:17 "Finally, let no 1 cause me trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus". The spkr was jailed 4 the Gospel
• 20:19 is STUNT by the preaching of pastor MA. (He might even have Parkinson disease). After 24 years of imprisonment, he is like pure gold!
• 20:23 heard MS Ma "1. Accept hardship, darkness contrasts His glory more. The true enemy is the Evil One. Accept w/ joy & songs in the night"
• 20:39 heard MS Ma: "3. Focus on the goal to race. Believe in the justice-reward of God. 4. Recognize your helplessness & depend on God 2 make it."
• 22:22 bored MSH with my rambling ;-) may be I should hire him as my therapist ...
• 22:36 read 2Co.10:5b "take captive every thought to make it obedient" & I don't think the thought there is "my thought" but "theirs".What u think?
• 22:52 @eduinnovation church will be fine. God will just shift the movement through South America, Africa, and Asia
• 22:53 is going to sleep.

End-of-day
