sanity&clarity

Never been very consistent with blogging or maintaining a web site but I thought, "why not?" I'm slowly becoming technologically domesticated enough as it is. Why not just post what life is not online there?

Two common themes that you may notice as you survey my writings: 1.) stream of consciousness and 2.) randomness, which tend to be directly correlated with one another.

Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man… Worship, therefore, is the fuel and goal of missions. It’s the goal of missions because in missions we simply aim to bring the nations into the white-hot enjoyment of God’s glory. The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God… But worship is also the fuel of missions. Passion for God in worship precedes the offer of God in preaching… Missions begins and ends in worship.
