What Will It Take to Reach Others? (1 Corinthians 9:19-23)

We have to be around other people in order to reach them.

Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide range of people: religious, nonreligious, meticulous moralists, loose-living immoralists, the defeated, the demoralized—whoever. I didn’t take on their way of life. I kept my bearings in Christ—but I entered their world and tried to experience things from…

"Seeing how greatly interested the convicts were in the Christian Herald, I obtained permission from the warden to secure their subscriptions for it. Several hundred prisoners became subscribers and regular readers. In many instances the influence of this religious journal upon the convicts became very noticeable.

Among the subscribers was a full-blooded young Indian, of the Mohawk tribe, and known as “Indian Joe.” He was accused of having killed a man in a riot among the miners in the coal fields. Although he steadfastly maintained his innocence of the crime for which he was sentenced, he took his imprisonment with true Indian stoicism.

In his cell he kept an unique home-made calendar. On a large piece of cardboard he had drawn a great number of circles, with twelve circles in a row. Each circle stood for a moon, or month, and each row represented a year. It was the Indian calendar. As time elapsed, month by month, he marked off a circle. When all the moons on his calendar had waxed and waned, and were marked off, his long sentence would be at an end. It was a joyous ceremony to him each month when he marked off a passing moon, bringing him one step nearer to ultimate freedom.

Indian Joe was greatly pleased and perplexed as he read the Herald—pleased with the ideals of Christian living as it was taught, and perplexed by the many un-Christian acts of life as it was lived.

I was very much interested in the reactions of his alert and practical mind. One day, while talking with him about such matters, he asked me, ‘‘How come Christian folks send missionaries to China, and keep innocent white men and Indians locked up in pen right here home?”

Needless to say I was puzzled about what kind of an answer to give him, but, finally, I explained that Christian people did not know that these prisoners were innocent.

His practical mind flashed back a question immediately. “Then why no tell them?” he asked sincerely." - Earl Ellicott Dudding, The Trail of the Dead Years. Edited by William Winfred Smith. Huntington, West Virginia: Prisoners Relief Society, 1932. p. 100-101

Two Fathers, Two Kingdoms: Understanding Spiritual Identity in a Divided World

Everyone we meet has two fathers. Everyone.[1] They have a biological father and a spiritual father. Biblically, their spiritual father is either God or Satan. The Pharisees incorrectly thought they were children of God, and said to Jesus, “The only Father we have is God himself” (John 8:41). Here’s an example were perception was not equal to reality. Jesus refuted them, saying, “You are from…

Acts 11 v19-end and John 15 v12-17

Mission trips are meant as a way to help others, yet historically religious missions are a form of colonization and violent cultural oppression—and can be still today! mission trips are a common part of the experience growing up christian. For current or past christians (who went on a mission trip as a child or worked as a missionary as an adult)…. do you or do you not regret the work you did as a missionary?

"prostitution is the world oldest prof-"

WRONG. Zookeeping is the world oldest profession. God created Adam and Eve and gave them the mission to protect nature and animals.

Zookeepers and gardenists are the closest to what God intended for humankind 🤠🌷🌸🌺🌻🌼🪷🐿️🦬🐬🦋🐞

#did you know florist had longer lifespan?#working with nature is literally healing #whenever I see videos of humans saving animals I'm reminded that it was our original mission #even animals acknowledge God #the Creation *knows*#Christian #papi truths

Luke 14:12-14 – Abundance and Inclusion For All

We need to get ahold of the reality that God loves us, as well as everyone else – even the people we may not give the time of day to.

The Great Banquet by Hyatt Moore Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you…

"FIFTY YOUNG PRISONERS MAY SOON BE RELEASED," Toronto Globe. December 20, 1913. Page 1. --- READING CAMP ASSOCIATION AIM TO GIVE THEM NEW START IN CAMPS. ---- Mr. Alfred Fitzpatrick, Superintendent of the Reading Camp Association, returned from a mining camp in the Sudbury district yesterday, where he had taken a paroled youth from the Kingston Penitentiary. This young man, who was sentenced to four years for theft, had about two years and five months to run, but was released to the association as an experiment. If he makes good, about fifty young prisoners will be released from the penitentiary in the spring and placed in the northern camps under the supervision of the Reading Camp Association teachers. The association hopes to be the means of releasing another youth from Kingston in a few days. He will be taken to another camp, and upon his behavior depends the release of other young prisoners.

The association in the spring will have about seventy-five teachers, mostly university graduates, located in the construction and lumber camps throughout the Province. These teachers perform manual labor during the day and conduct classes during the leisure hours and Divine services on Sunday.
