I know I have been absent for awhile now and to come back with that is tough. My life has been busy, the reality is that is no excuse. What really happened is that this got de-prioritized in my list of things that need to be done on a regular basis. I was going through my stuff today and realized just how long it has been. In addition there have been on average of 50 hits to this page a day and over 20k since it started. That makes me feel a sense of urgency to update it more often. So I have a co author now who will help keep me accountable. And I would like to post up shows as well.<br />
<br />
Beyond all that I have been reflecting deeply on a few items. The first of which is that quote from David Platt. If you do not know who he is then you need to buy his book asap. One of the best resources out there for Christians, especially if you are complacent. It seems like in our efforts to include God in all that we do in our lives that we have in fact minimized what it means to be on "mission" for God. Even though in a general sense we are all missionaries for God... called to bring his truth and to demonstrate it in our actions.... there is something more to be said for those who are not only purposeful, but sacrificial in their mission efforts. This all follows along with the show series I have been doing on TV20 regarding the "Hierarchy of Serving". The level at which an individual can give for and to God in their life is meaningful. It does not change the state of their salvation, but one is a demonstration of it and the other is merely a walkabout.<br />
<br />
A close person to me uses the analogy all the time, of someone who is called to be a missionary to the rich atheists of California. So they raise funds to know all about the culture of California, Atheism and then they move there to a "lesser" home. They spend days during their week updating websites, evangelizing, even going to atheistic conferences. Can they really be compared at the same level as someone who is running an Orphanage in Haiti? They have an In-and-Out Burger on every corner in California. What did they really sacrifice? I am not saying what they are doing is wrong, I just do not believe it is in the same level of classification, and therefore does it deserve the same amount of attention, time and money as an individual who is fighting to keep children alive in Africa without water?<br />
<br />
I would love to hear your feedback on this topic what gauge should we use for serving as a whole? What constitutes Biblical serving vs. serving in the way I feel is best? Do we as Christians forsake "feelings" in regards to truth (which we should), and yet use "feelings" to guide our hand in serving?<div

FallaciesHere is an exceedingly great article from an Astrophysist that is associated with AIG. The article delves into logical fallacies the inductive and deductive arguments. The irony here is many times if not all the inductive arguments are based upon assumptions, now sometimes they are likely assumptions, but they are assumptions nontheless. As Christians we need to be wary of making this mistake, an argument needs to have a logical reason to be deducted from. So lets focus our conversations from Logical deductions rather than assumptions.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2009/07/27/logical-fallacies-introduction">Here is the article</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">heartforthelostblog.blogspot.com</div>Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15817382053501683260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621990276129298576.post-39434600327366325862009-08-03T06:50:00.000-06:002009-08-03T06:50:00.453-06:00Grace it is The answerJust recently I have fell in love with Romans, this particular book of the Bible is not only challenging but contains so much of our Theology in a nice little package. In fact when people have questions about the Christian Faith I will typically turn to Romans first. Many times the answer has been right there. Here are just a few things that have jumped out at me. This is by no means a comprehensive list or study just merely my interaction with the text.<br /><br />Romans 8 discusses the believers and God's Soverign plan, <br />Romans 9 answers the questions about who is the author of Salvation and why God does some things that he does.<br />Romans 1:16 speaks about who the Gospel is for<br />Romans 1:18-32 delves into the question about what about those who have not heard the Gospel, that Eternity is in the Hearts of all men.<br />Romans 2 arranges an argument against our judgement in favor of God's judgement and that it is righteous. Pay close attention to Romans 2:4 <em>4Or do you presume on(C) the riches of his kindness and(D) forbearance and(E) patience,(F) not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?</em> What it is God's kindness that leads to repentance?<br /><br />So those are just several of the important verses in Romans, there are many more and feel free to add in the comments section.... Well then why is this post about Grace you say? Simply because Romans yet again has the answer in fact there is a whole argument that Paul sets up about Grace here, this argument is very similar to what is discussed in Ephesians 2:8,9 and Titus 3:5 here is the passsage with some context<br /><br /><em>5So too at the present time there is(B) a remnant, chosen by grace. 6(C) But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.<br /><br /> 7What then?(D) Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest(E) were hardened,</em><br /><br />There is so much Theology packed into these little verses that it would take hours to really go through it all. What we see here in verse 6 is that if it is by Grace it is no longer works, and that if you even apply works there is no grace at all. This is paramount for Christians, Non-Christians and even Unbelievers. God has choosen and has given Grace which as we see in Romans 2:4 is from HIS kindness. So how do people gloss over these many verses and answers and formulate their own justifications and understanding as they pertain to the Theology of Grace.... well I belive that Romans again has the answer see Romans beginning at verse 1:21. God gave them over to their lusts and foolish desires. God allows men to come up with alternate explainations that do not fit a plan which glorifies God alone!<br /><br />As Christians we need to have the answers 1 Peter tells us, and the answers although not always in Romans are there and they are plain to see, yet for some reason our own eyes can be darkened. I would ask that you pray that God would shed a light on your study and your reading, it appears that the only light that illuminates comes from Him. We also need to be very cognicent of creating a God we are more comfortable with or one that seeks to give us prosperity.<br /><br />As Paul would say<br /><br />Grace and peace to you.<div class="blogger-post-footer">heartforthelostblog.blogspot.com</div>Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15817382053501683260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621990276129298576.post-85256021258027096922009-08-02T11:47:00.002-06:002009-08-02T11:50:24.837-06:00Gourmet JesusOk so I know that I am the ultimate reposter. However this sermon was amazing and it is really not what you think it is about. It touches on the prosperity preachers, but in reality sheds a light on how we all try to formulate a Jesus that is more to our liking. Listen and comment.<br /><br />The sermon can be found <a href="http://blip.tv/file/2404294">here</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">heartforthelostblog.blogspot.com</div>Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15817382053501683260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621990276129298576.post-81094023989883761222009-07-21T18:33:00.000-06:002009-07-21T18:33:00.400-06:00Homogenized JesusThis is another fantastic sermon by Bryan about how we as Christians run parallel to the world with "Christianizing worldly things"<br /><br /><a href="http://blip.tv/file/2377899">Listen and post your feedback</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">heartforthelostblog.blogspot.com</div>Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15817382053501683260noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621990276129298576.post-17026203976725571502009-07-12T18:01:00.002-06:002009-07-12T18:02:30.238-06:00Name ten and winThis is a website that my friend Darrel Rundus did, he likes to ask people this question and in this case like many others wants to give money away.<br /><br /><a href="http://tenandwin.com">www.tenandwin.com</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">heartforthelostblog.blogspot.com</div>Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15817382053501683260noreply@blogger.com0
