“If your safety is such a concern that you shut opposing ideas down because they make you feel ‘unsafe,’ how will you ever accept Jesus’ word to be sent out like sheep among wolves?” -John Piper
I guess we have to substitute comfort for courage.
PMO #2: “You have something to offer. God will use your gifts and abilities.”
But when you move across cultural/language barriers we can believe that we’ve now become “half a person.” Can we handle not being “useful” for years?
We are more than what we do.

Guard your soul. The 2-edged seduction of our day is to justify selling ourselves in order to “help people” & making a name for ourselves in Jesus’ name. It’s sly & it’s such bull & it bankrupts the soul. We’ve got to know in our own gut where the line is & when we’ve crossed it.
God, nothing is too hard for you! How could you let this happen! -Jeremiah
Nothing is too hard for me. I’m the only one that could let this happen. -God
That’s a big deal.
