Stirred By The Scriptures

“Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world…” those are the words of Peter in the first book that bears his name and they give us a description of who we are. They form the focus of the mission God has called us to - to live in this world not of it. I can only speak for myself but I live life too used to and too comfortable with being a citizen of this world. When I live this way I really get “off mission.” Everything from my heart attitude, to my rights to my constant wanting of more cloud my perspective and become what fills my day. The question that I have found myself pondering and I would encourage you to as well is - what will it take to get me back on mission and keep me there?
