Being Wise Masterbuilders...Building Ministry 0nly Upon Christ My wife Mary Ann and I have been Stateside since late March assisting our daughter as she prepares for her second deployment to Iraq and we'll be here until sometime in August. Each weekend we've had the joy and privilege to speak in different churches and often during the week at Bible studies and prayer meetings. It's our desire to preach Christ as the Head of the church, the Lord of the harvest and the One Who gave the Great Commission to His people. We passionately pray, speak and long to see His people worshiping Him as Lord of lords, serving Him as King of kings and not as One Who can make us feel better and give us what we want when we want it. We're concerned because sometimes the songs sung, messages preached and prayers prayed are all about us, our churches and programs as well as our personal needs rather than all about our risen Savior Who died for our decaying and dying world. Pastors, churches, missionaries, mission agencies, people, budgets and programs come and go so at the end of this age *only* Christ, the eternal Word and people's souls will remain. We need to be wise master builders so we know the difference between building so-called Christian ministries on personalities, felt needs and fads rather than upon the church's Foundation and Cornerstone--Jesus Christ and the Word of God. I request you to pray through 1 Corinthians 3 for our ACTION team, our Filipino colleagues and for yourself so we'll keep growing in Christ and maturing in our understanding of the Word so we'll know the difference between passing spiritual fads and Christ as revealed in the Word of God.
