Summer 2010

Semester's almost over! Give thought to your summer so that you "redeem the time, for the days are evil." Use it to refresh your spirit and drink deeply from the fountain of living water, Jesus.

What are you going to decide now to read? Scripture to memorize? What days are your going to set aside to pray (like go to a park for 2-3 hours at a time)?

Welcome (and Welcome Back)!

Hello to all returning to MWSU for another year, and welcome to all coming for their first!

Our first meeting is next week at 7:00, Thursday (Aug 27).

But mud volleyball is Wed. @ 4:00. Contact Jeremy if you plan on playing.

Of all the mushy lines about God . . .

Mushy, canned, chicken-soupy, jelly-spined, fortune cookie thoughts about God don't do anything for me. They don't call me to attention, they don't build steel into my spine, they don't humble me in my sin, they don't help me to love and glorify Christ. They're like looking at a sunset through a stained-glass window; they only obscure the real splendor for something far less. I read this one today in an email:

God is so big He can cover the whole world with his Love
and so small He can curl up inside your heart.

Where do you find that in the Bible?

We're Official!

Thanks Colin for the help to make us official at MWSU.

(Some of you may be surprised to find out for 2 years we haven't been. I was surprised when I found out too! After several months, the issues are finally resolved.)

What is history's most spectacular sin? It's the Cross. Jesus Christ was nailed to a cross of wood and hung there until dead. The Son of God was killed by the hands of men.

But he wasn't dying for sins he had done. God's plan to save the world from their sins, was being accomplished. That's why Jesus' last words were, "It is finished." Mission accomplished. His all-consuming purpose in life was fulfilled.

That is the meaning and purpose for celebrating Easter. Jesus saves men from the guilt, consequences, and power of sin. He chose to sacrifice himself in order to save the world, to reconcile man to God.

If God is at work in you, these things are gnawing on your mind, contact us. We want you to know Jesus.

The Point of Your Life = That Christ Gets His Due Reward

This semester, some of our students are attending the missions class "Perspectives" on Tuesday evenings and meeting during the week for Bible studies.
Contact us if you want to know more about Christ, need Christian fellowship, or discipleship.

Blessings in Christ, the only Object worthy to waste your life for.

Bringing the Gospel, Bringing the Heat

Hear this--It's the Gospel. A different music. A different sub-culture. But it's the same Gospel. We need such little "contextualization" in our evangelism and missions! We should be amazed at how clear the words of Scripture are for every culture or sub-culture or clique to "get it".

Thinking Biblically About Facebook

(Thanks to Justin Taylor for this link)
Justin Buzzard offers some wise counsel, including 9 potentially negative uses/dangers of Facebook and 6 ways to love God and love others through Facebook. Happy foddering.

Testimony of Justin Vold

I listened to this recently and highly recommend it. God is beginning to do some amazing things (revival!) that Christians haven't seen for years. It'll be a blessing and a challenge to you:

A Riddle for the Me Generation

A riddle for all you who love Twitter type and Facebook hype:

What relation to the Me Generation
Shares Narcissus that should warn us
Of vain-glory and sin's story?


ON AN UGLY FELLOW, by William Cowper

"Beware, my friend, of crystal brook
Or fountain, lest that hideous hook,
Thy nose, thou chance to see;
Narcissus' fate would then be thine,
And self-detested thou would'st pine,
As self-enamoured he."

An Exciting Day at Church

I'm not sure I remember ever having a day at church like this as a kid. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7718596.stm

Israeli police have arrested two clergyman after an argument between monks erupted into a brawl next to the site of Jesus' tomb.

The clash broke out between Armenian and Greek Orthodox monks in Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Six Christian sects divide control of the ancient church. They regularly fight over turf and influence, and Israeli police occasionally intervene.
