New Look, New Quote

I've upgraded the blog and added a new element to the sidebar: the current quote. I hope to update it periodically with quotes from various sources.
I've been reading through the book of Proverbs, and I've come across a number of verses that were tailor-made for me. I put this one in more as a reminder for myself and anyone else reading this who, like me, has a temper problem. I know that there have been times when people went easy on me when I lost my temper in a big way, and though I am grateful for their understanding, I know that even though I was penitent and truly sorry at that moment, I wonder if I really had learned a lesson.
So, though we must be sure to show grace, sometimes there are consequences and rebukes that should be delivered (carefully and in love, of course) if one is to learn a lesson and put those old parasitic habits behind.

Hark the Herald

The first Christmas contata did not take place in a Civic center or a church building, but in the shepherds' fields. Even before Christ was born the missionary ideal of "going out" was being applied.
For some reason, we still don't seem to get this. We still expect that if we can get people to come to us, we'll get people saved.
I'm not saying that God can't use this method, but it's not the New Testament model. Our Savior, His disciples, and even these angels were messengers who brought the story of Christ out.
We need contatas (and I use that term very loosely) in the fields and in the projects, by the sea of Galilee and by the Gulf of Mexico, on the temple mount and in the mall.
I don't know how to do this best, but I think we need to talk with God and with one another about this as-we-are-out-there model. We have mission fields-even in Bay County-and these fields need the messengers to come to them.

Psalm 96:2-3
2Sing unto the Lord, bless His name; show forth His salvation from day to day.
3Declare His glory among the heathen, his wonders among all the people.
