The Truth Project

Hey hey! It's me again. I haven't posted in a while, because I've been busy havin' fun meeting new people and hanging out with family and friends. Who has time for blogging?
Anywhoodles... er, stuff! Laurie and I were fortunate enough to be able to purchase The Truth Project DVD set, which we went through at Community Bible Church in Pierre, SD with pastor Harvey Friez. We will be embarking on a new journey, potentially of leadership or giving, or whatever it is God has in mind for us. We will be hosting a small group either in our apartment, or at a church, depending on the interest.
With that, I've put together a CD with all the files available from the support website (which is available only to group participants, along with the DVDs). Also, I'll open up a simple pre-registered site for all the group members, using either WordPress, phpBB, or both (Joomla takes too long to be worth a dime).
I feel God is moving me into a role of behind the scenes leadership, at the moment. To me, that means that I am being strongly called to help others around me see what God has in store for the body of Christ. However, I don't feel like that calling is leading me to stand in front of people and teach them. My passion, convictions, love for Christ, and adoration of the Father is being focused in a very specific ministry. I am so fired up for spreading God's word, but also in witnessing to lukewarm, backslidden, weak, disheartened, dry, and tired Christians, desperately needing a spiritual kick from behind. For some reason, God has seen fit to bless me with perspective and clarity I never knew I could possess. I have been given insight into ideas for reviving those around me that is clearly not originating from my own person. I see a hurting world, I see a hurting, malnourished, a failing church, and my heart breaks. We need to heal ourselves before we can effectively heal the world. The Truth Project is one of a few solutions for this disease. The Church needs a worldview check. And by check, I mean the hockey kind, where your face is smashed against the glass until you see stars, or nothing at all.
Well, that's all for now. Peace!

Dr. Don Bierle spoke at CBC on Sunday.
Seeing a guy who has dedicated his life to Biblical scientific endeavors, and being able to preach a good 'ol sermon on something not related to science is really cool. We bought one of his books (Surprised by Faith) and accompanying workbooks as well. Hopefully we can go through it as part of a bible/book study, which would encourage my wife and I to continue building a strong devotional foundation in our relationship.
By the way, marriage is great! The adventure of getting to know your other half through years of discovery and relationship building is an incredible gift and blessing. I am amazed at how it gets better instead of duller as time goes on. You feel like new doors are opened as you learn new things about each other and learn to work together as a team in ways you never thought possible.
How did I get on this topic? Anyway, Dr. Bierle spoke on Evolution on Sunday evening, and we got the workbook he wrote on that as well. It's a bit short, and lacks detail in some areas, but still has enough content to arm me with good arguments for Intelligent Design and Creation for years to come.
