1st Love

Here is a recent update from Jesse, a bro' who has gone out into the fields of India. This is really good stuff but hard. Jesse is one of the most kingdom focused hard working people I know. He’s been doing all the "stuff" for years:
at the abortion clinics at 6:00 on Saturday mornings talking to people who are going to kill their kids,
getting punched,
spit on,
hot coffee thrown at him.
but here he is admitting that in the process of it all he lost his focus, his relationship with Jesus had become lukewarm at best.

Relationships take time and work, anyone who is married and honest will agree.

Getting honest about where you are at is a good thing. It’s the 1st step to freedom. Ya got to fight though. Jesus said the kingdom of God is advancing forcefully and forceful men take hold of it. Paul says we have to persevere. That means we fight, but fight who and persevere against what? Most often ourselves, our sinful nature, carnal minds, our own great ideas and desires…our flesh…pick your translation it is all the same.
