Being invited to a fresh meal is always a blessing. Also to a good spiritual meal. This Sunday in Ed, (where I was born) this word came to me as new fresh food from God himself. I heard again the calling: 2 Cor 10: 15-18

Wonderful Calling to the Church with its Mission |
|
|
15…we
shall be greatly enlarged by you in our sphere, |
Growing here |
|
16 to
preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, |
So.. beyond with Pioneer
preaching |
|
and
not to boast in another man's sphere of accomplishment. |
Not stealing others success |
|
17 But "he who glories, let him glory in the Lord." |
Glory to God |
|
18 For
not he who commends himself is approved, . but whom the Lordcommends. | The Lord is my
leader |
These days, you can lock yourself up because of fear of others and become
more-than-usual selfish. Lose your joy, more-than-usual. And become more lonely
than-ever.
Now is the time for the CHURCH with it`s MISSION to be more shining God`s Glory than-usual.
I met a Christian businessman the other day. He really “infected” me with a big
dose of hope and enthusiasm. I also saw that the other business-people around him were also filled with GOING now. They did not say: After Corona all will be good.
Several CHURCHES and MISSIONS are now looking for a new way of working. Karin
in Kvarnsveden now 90 years old is still a great blessing for us and many. She
said last weekend when we talked about Church with it`s Mission: We must be
one step ahead.
So dear friends, even these days of Corona pandemic let not the circumstances rule over you. And when next crisis comes we can be prepared even better by: Be steps ahead. Right? God's Holy Spirit wants to lead us before, during and after all crises.
