I am searching for a church that honestly worships the Lord, this is tough. The Bible is one of the best resources but I find that God is using others as well to reach me personally. It is not easy to turn back to the world, but I was very priviledged to go on a mission to Thailand and came back a new person. I dont know yet what God wants of me next but I am waiting to hear His voice. I only realised this year that I need to turn back to our Lord.

I want to plant a church in the future and Turning #4 will be key (the other 3 to be sure, are as well). I love this line - "We need to think more about how engaging the whole of the world with passion is a way of moving the world of men towards God." I have found that the folks who turn more to community and to scripture are those who have been in mission and service to others...they live and smell more like disciples than all those people who sit in a conference room "studying." This was a cup of cold water to my soul today. Thank you for sharing it. I wish Hunter had shared that info back when I was at Asbury...still, better late than never. Thanks for this great encouragement! I’m glad I happened upon this blog, and this particular post, on this particular day.

We need major repentance when it comes to our relation with God's world. We need to more from the more instrumentalist I-It relation to the world to a more I-Thou relation. Seeing God in it and through it. Not destroying it in the name of wanton consumption. I’m with you here Alex. We need major repentance when it comes to our relation with God’s world.
