Being Holy

I am struck by the thought of what it means to be incarnational. I was challenged yesterday that being holy isn't about "not" doing, but rather, it is about "doing". Being holy has more to do with being in the world than, in church, or prayer, etc. It has more to do with living out what God has called us to than it does striving for perfection. Love the unlovely, that is holiness. Feed the poor, that is holiness. It is definitely a different way of thinking. It is also very freeing.

What's in my head

I have so much stuff running through my head these days. Thinking alot about what it means to be incarnational. Heard a great recording today of Micheal Frost from the YFC National conference. It was an encouraging reaffirmation and challenge to do church well. We have not perfected it, but we do it well. We are on the right track. I pray that God will continue to guide us down this strange road of incarnational community. The challenge is to continue to grow this philosophy and spread it around. I don't know if any of this makes sense to you, but this is what's in my head.

WWJD

I have no clue most of the time. I know what He would do in some situations, because we see Him in action in The book. But, most of the time I hear people expounding on what Jesus thinks, it is usually judgemental and is more what they wish or hope Jesus thinks, because that is what would make them happy or comfortable. As a friend pointed out recently on our message board, I don't think Jesus is so quick to load the shotgun as we are. I know that Jesus' first reflex is to love, including loving the unlovely. Maybe we should just try doing that for a while and see how it works out for us.

I am back

Hello everyone. I am back,... I think. Life has been very busy lately, with Rockfest and weddings, etc. Syl and I just got back from Alberta. We were at Leni and Mark's wedding. It was an awesome time. More country music than I needed to hear, but still alot of fun.

I was officiating the wedding and barely kept control when I saw leni enter the church. Okay, I lost it. I don't know how I am going to handle my natural daughter's weddings.

We went to the West Edmonton Mall. Interesting to say the least. Waterslides are cool, I guess, but I would rather go outside. The amusement park looks fun, but stuff ain't cheap. Some stores have 2 or 3 locations in the mall. It is big, but, it is still a mall.

Rockfest is two weeks away. We are looking forward to it. If you are in the area, please join us for a day of music and food.

God is growing us these days. Ministry opportunities are increasing and so are the trials. We keep praying for God's grace and wisdom. Please join us in this prayer.

Keep our eyes on Jesus, Lord.

peace,
