“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

It’s not too often I read a book in three days. I just couldn’t put it down! Dying Out Loud is about Stan and Ann Steward and their two children who answered the call of God to live in Muslim communities in order to show others what a Christian looks like. In Stan’s case, God called him not only to live as a witness, but to die as a witness. When he got cancer, he refused to come back to the US because he felt God called him to show his Muslim friends how to die in Christ. This book is a bell ringing right now in the Church and has inspired a whole movement of “live dead” followers of Jesus who are willing to obey God whatever he may ask.  The Apostle Paul lived this way. He said, “I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete  the task the Lord Jesus has given me-the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace” Acts 20:24.

Here are also a couple of quotes from the book:

“It’s very easy to let your life be molded by the culture around you. But the consistent message Ann and I have received from God throughout our life together has been, if you’ll let me, there’s more.” Stan, p.24.

When Stan was five years old, the Lord spoke to his heart these words, “I have a purpose for your life. I have a particular task, that, if you do not do, will go undone.”

“God’s presence was with us even in the most dangerous places in the world. I would never want to go to those places on my own strength, but because God led us there, we were confident and at peace” Stan, p 109.

God has an adventure for you and me…we just need to say yes to following Jesus every day.

SAVE THE DATE:  adults and teens, please let us know if you are free to volunteer on May 17th as we will be hosting several other churches.  What a privilege we have to greet kids and their families, encourage them as they minister, and serve them food.  We will all be blessed as we see what God is doing to raise up the next generation of children to worship him and lead his people.
