The Journey

It's Still A Mystery

Paul described it best.  "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." (Corinthians 1:18-19) 

The message of the cross.

The event, a real physical/spiritual historical event; but the implications ripple through the future of all humanity.  Oh how foolish it seems that God might come to earth to show His care and ultimate involvement in our lives.  Why would the King of the Universe bow down so low as to become a lowly servant?

It's still not making sense. 

Check this out.

As a fan of the OFFICE, I'm intrigued to see an actor so willing to see something suspiciously wonderful in the life of a 22 year old activist interested in helping the poorest of the poor in the world.

I don't know if this man is a "Christian," but there's something undeniably wonderful about willingness of someone to sacrifice the history of family to care for someone else.  It seems kind of foolish?  Don't you think?

I guess we shouldn't be surprised. After all, the reconciliation and redemption of mankind always has seemed a bit crazy. 

My Heart Is Heavy This Morning

Through all the talks of political hot button issues, I filed through my e-mail this morning, surprised to find several comments on my "gay marriage" post yesterday.  As I stumbled through the list, I saw an e-mail from an old friend who sent me this video, and I just thought, "Why?"  There's more I want to address concerning Gay Marriage, but for now, just watch this and let me know what you think, "How are we going to fight this?"

Social Justice is not Chic'

I love the fact social justice issues are on the march into living rooms across the world.  We, as humans on the planet, seem to be caring about people around the globe, no matter their nationality or tone of skin.  It's incredible to watch the generational change happen, even right before my eyes. For, it was only five years ago teenagers were still dealing with who had the fastest car, who had the coolest computer, and who was dressing in the latest fashion. 

Now I know that's the real world, and there are certainly representatives that could hold all those banners high in the sky, but the point is, poverty has become a table conversation.  We talk about how to help the hungry, how to visit those in prison, how to give clean water to the world, and how to give orphans a chance to have a mom and dad through the process of adoption. 

HOWEVER>>>>>

Let's remember!

Social Justice issues are not meant to be some kind of classy self promoting promenade.  The heart to care for the poor is one that needs to center around humility and true concern, not one of self-preservation. 

The reason I want to bring this up today is...

I know the lesson Paul uses in the New Testament 'if the gospel's going forth who cares by what vehicle" but the heart of the matter is an important one.  Jesus called the Pharisees "You Brood of Vipers,"  "You White Washed Tombs" precisely because on the outside they looked all clean and neat, but on the inside they were full of poison and deceit. 

Please remember....

No matter how cool it is to follow in the steps of Bono, Brad and Angelina, Clooney, or Madonna; the people need caring, loving, God Centered people who really love them.  They don't need a bunch of Americans to rally around global poverty because it's cool today, and then leave them high and dry when celebrities leave the table of global awareness. 

May we be people who care because God loved us first.
May we see the heart of the poor and needy, not out of selfish potential, but rather out of love.
May we do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God,

Andy Writes a New Article for NEUE...

Hey Guys, I just wrote an article for a brand new website called NEUE.  It's a great place to see Jesus' message taken around the globe.  Here's the link to my article...

http://www.neueministry.com/2008/08/poverty-is-more-than-a-spoonful-of-rice/

I hope you enjoy.  Share it with your friends...and in the meantime, here's the highlights from the trip we took to Guatemala.  It was AWESOME!!!

What does He deserve?

He lives in concrete orphanage   
Waiting for a bit of hope
A mom in dad is all he wants
Will he ever learn to cope?

I wonder if they'll come today
And sweep me to their land
They walk right by, and then away..
They walk smiling, hand in hand

They look and cry with mouths open wide
In disbelief they leave.
He walks again to the corner stall
Where tonight he'll try to breathe.

The air so filthy rats run in fear
Of catching some dreaded strain.
Of virus only they can stand
Your dog would die in vain.

For life they tell him is all right
God spins it to preserve
The children He's most delighted in
So what does HE deserve?

Does He deserve any less a chance
To grow and live and learn?
Or is He destined to live until
The hungry belly burns?

His eyes are wide with innocence
They didn't play this part.
He had no choice where life began
He's only tried to start.

Living in the Philippines
A million miles away
From those who say they want to help
But walk hand in hand away

They talk out loud with good intent
But markets they do conserve
They stockpile cash for rainy days
So, Really...What does He deserve?

A silent night away from
All the bounty that lies within
For goodness sake just take your shoes
And give them with a grin

God wants us all to have a chance
To live up on this earth.
So why does He have so little time
So What does He deserve?

They're good people, doing good work.  The poorest of the poor finally have a champion!

For Whom the Protest Tolls?

Have you been watching the news?

The Olympic torch relay is being hijacked by a number of protesters with one mission in mind.  They wish to bring to a global stage the human rights violations of China in a country wanting to be free from the atheistic communist rule. 

Look what was going on in San Francisco today...

So, for me, it begs the question, Why are so many people passionate about the people of a tiny little country in southern Asia?  What exactly is going on down there that raises this kind of awareness?

I mean think about it.  The Olympics are supposed to be a place where countries can come together in lieu of all their political issues.  It's a time when athletes who train their whole lives can compete in front of the eyes of the world in a peaceful way. 

So why would someone want to risk all that?

I think I understand why....

Oppression is dirty business.  Since 1959 Tibet has been subjected to an oppressor in China that has jeopardized it's national security, ruined thousands of years of it's historical religious tradition, and some reports claim China is using Tibet as a staging area for more of a presence near India.

The Tibetans want freedom to rule and live in their own country.  In fact the Dali Lama details it like this...

"No matter what country or continent we come from we are all basically the same human beings. We have the common human needs and concerns. We all seek happiness and try to avoid suffering regardless of our race, religion, sex or political status. Human beings, indeed all sentient beings, have the right to pursue happiness and live in peace and in freedom. As free human beings we can use our unique intelligence to try to understand ourselves and our world. But if we are prevented from using our creative potential, we are deprived of one of the basic characteristics of a human being. It is very often the most gifted, dedicated and creative members of our society who become victims of human rights abuses. Thus the political, social, cultural and economic developments of a society are obstructed by the violations of human rights. Therefore, the protection of these rights and freedoms are of immense importance both for the individuals affected and for the development of the society as a whole."

-The United Nations World Conference June 15, 1993 Vienna Austria-

In other words, people are all basically the same all over the world.  We all want freedom and the ability to live our lives in search of happiness free from oppressive dictatorships.  So the protesters who know what they're doing aren't marching for some random cause.  They have a purpose with an Underdog (Tibet) being oppressed by a giant (China). 

It's an honorable reason to stand up in the face of insurmountable political pressures against a country like China. Some are raising flags.  Others are laying in the road.  Some are trying to extinguish the flame in protest.  While others still are running naked in the streets to have some other agenda on the nightly news.

All good and well in a social structure where we are free to express ideas... 

But where are those with the same passion to stand up for the oppressed here in the U.S.?

Where are those who stand up for the people oppressed by an old style world system filled with selfishness, greed, and hedonistic tendencies, even as we watch rampant consumerism eat away at our society like a cancer?

Where are those who would be protesters for the rights of the poor, the orphan, and the needy in our back yard? They certainly don't make the 5:00 News spot.

And maybe there's even a  bigger picture.

Where are those who are the would be crusaders willing to face the oppressive nature of sin in our culture today?  Not by adding more to the list of right and wrong, but simply aiding and protesting those parts of our culture that are damaging the fibers of our society. 

A few weeks ago, I met a former meth addict.  His name is John, and when I met him he couldn't stop talking about the friendship of a local neighbor who literally fought for this man's existence as he drove him to the detox counseling center not too far from my home.  He waited for 12 weeks as John was working on the physicality of what it might be like to be free from his oppressor.

Then after the program was over, my buddy drove this man to a house where he learned job skills, responsibility in finances, how to fill out a resume', and gave him a fresh new start in life. 

I'm sure if you asked John what he thought about life only a year ago, the tune would resonate the same  as the Tibetan longing for their freedom from China. Yet, I'm not seeing those who are waving the flags of freedom for men like John.

I know several churches who are stepping into the arena, but I believe in my heart, the vast number of those sitting in the church pews of America who could reach out to people oppressed by the system of the world still hasn't been tapped. 

The Church still remains a sleeping Giant sitting on the sidelines awaiting a miraculous intervention with a Second Coming.  And, all the while there are causalities of war falling on the waysides of the road of life. 

I'm glad there are those who are interested in the human rights violations on a global stage.  For sure if you've read much here you know I'm engaged at many levels. 

It's definitely newsworthy, but how much more news could we make as we shared a caring heart with our neighbor, lent a hand to a brother, or simply knelt down to someone who doesn't deserve our gracious warrior spirit; and truly let God's spirit transform the old system of the world into a new system encouraged by the core of Hope. 

There are those doing it.  And my heart is filled with that hope every time I see them.  Will you be a part of the protest today? 

This Has Got to Stop

Sorry I've been out of touch the last couple of days.  I'm finishing up a project to teach teenagers the main parts of knowing their faith, and it's consuming my life.

In any event, I ran across a statistic during my research, and I think you're going to find this alarming.

I was working on the Christian's responsibility to a broken world, and I started investigating the Sex Slave trade around the world.  THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM!!!  I was intending on merely sharing the fact we live in a broken world, and we have a chance to stand up and do something about it.  But check this out...

According to the 2006 Trafficking in Persons Report, the United States Department of State reported, "Human trafficking remains the third most profitable illicit trade, after that of arms and drugs. According to one estimate, human trafficking generates about $9.5 billion in revenue, annually, and is linked to other organized crimes like human smuggling, drug trafficking, and money laundering. According to another estimate by the ILO, the average profits generated from trafficked forced labor were as high as $32 billiona year"

This is incredible....

We've got to stop focusing on celebrity birthdays, weddings, and little birthings, and start focusing our energy on something that can truly save lives.  Watch this....

*BE CAREFUL...THIS IS EXPLICIT VIDEO*

Join me in a collective outcry.  We must do more to stop this horrible practice.....We have a chance to bring hope to these forgotten children. 

God...please give us the courage to do!

It was a Great Day in Branson

It was a great day in Branson yesterday.  I had an incredible opportunity to introduce Love INC to a group of pastors and lay workers in the greater Branson Area.

Love INC is a ministry focused on church based networking, to provide basic services to people in the community.  They are great at identifying the needs of people, and finding members of local churches who can serve as leaders and mentors to give those services away.

I watched a video of a family deep in debt as their business failed, and a CPA of a local church started meeting with them to help them know basic money management. 
As they worked through their own debt problems, this CPA became a mentor of sorts, and the relationship is stable and in the deep throws of friendship. 

All is took was a group of churches able to see the BIG C in church.  We are all here to offer services and need based programs to the community.  Unfortunately there are some who still view the church as a little c program, competing with all the other denominations and locations in a particular city.

The pastors and lay people in the local Branson area, all made a commitment to re-engage the community at a different level.  Each one identifying the gift God gave them, and joining the network of gifts to offer the maximum support to people in need.

Now, this is the way church is supposed to be.  People helping people through the hardest times in life.  It's supposed to be a selfless enterprise where all people might find the true nature of God. 

It was amazing to see over half the churches in the area represented.  And all were moved to a point of action.  It was awesome!!

Isn't that how Jesus wanted it to be?

I mean it doesn't take long to peruse through the New Testament to find sections like Philippians 2, that describe Jesus' humility as God who allowed the humility of humanity to lock him into a man.  Then He was able to meet the needs of many men, because He became one of us.

I sure wish there were more cities out there willing to let down their pride, and unite under one banner of God's love to begin solving the hardest issues of our rural and city communities.  Issues like homelessness, hunger, and addiction can find support under the love of God, if only we'll humble ourselves like Jesus did. 

I'd love to help you find a network of people in your community interested in helping the core needs in their neighborhood.  Check out Love INC.  It's a great ministry doing great work across the country.

Another Adventure On Mill Avenue

I was walking down the street in Tempe Arizona, my favorite place to encounter new stories, and I ran into another 'one of a kind' activist. 

He was standing on the side of the road with a notebook in hand, and stopped me to ask if I was interested in helping a 'good cause.' 

I said sure, I had nothing but time on my hands, so I patiently listened to a passionate man explain his hurt for a segment of society. 

He claimed that the U.S. needed legislation to keep employers from firing people based on their sexual preferences.  He was concerned of an overwhelming trend for people to be dismissed from their jobs based on findings these employees were gay.  He claimed the US government needed to take a more active stand on the protection of gay rights in the workplace, and we needed to contribute funds to some non profit organization to help fund this lobbying activism for protection.

And so, I engaged.

I asked, "How can someone know they were being fired for being gay?"

"Well, we know there are people who are fired for mundane reasons, but the real reason is that they are gay.  We need to make sure sexual preference isn't the foundational reason."

I asked again, "How can you know if someone is being fired for being gay?  I know HR departments around the world that are clearly articulate on the hiring and firing processes of their particular companies, and sexual rights are always included in those discrimination cases."

"Some companies do.  But some do not.  We need to protect our gay brothers."

"So, are you saying that we legislate the hiring and firing of people based on their sexual choices?  It sounds like it would be pretty hard to prove someone was being fired for being gay if employers are already providing reasons for people to be fired.  Are you advocating that people who claim to be homosexual get some sort of tenure because they claim a certain sexuality?"

"No, if someone is doing a good job, they should be allowed to stay.  We need equal rights for all people, and we're just trying to make sure that happens."

We went on for a few minutes, and I told him I respected his passion and his sense of giving to a cause beyond himself.  He admitted he wasn't gay, but simply interested in helping people that seemed to need help in the workplace.

As I walked on, I started thinking....

I wonder how many companies are discriminating on the basis of someone's sexual preference.  I don't know any companies that have an interview sheet to outline someone's homosexuality, in fact it's illegal to even ask in an interview those types of personal questions.

Then I started to think about what is God's response to issues like this.  In all I do, I want to be sure I'm following exactly what God wants me to do.  I'm interested in the heart of God, not the heart of man, or any organizational battle cry.

Does God engage in civil rights? Is it the state of a Christian responsibility to engage in sexual protection in the workplace?  Do Christians have an obligation to govern morality in a place of work? 

But maybe more important question...What causes a college student to be so passionate about the civil rights of a group he isn't even a part of?  I know the civil rights movement of the 60's had cross racial representation, but this issue seems to be a little different than the color of someone's skin. 

I know what I think about homosexuality.  I have several gay friends, and I've counseled students through this issue for several years.  But, what does God say about this stuff?  How should the body of believers act toward lobby groups like this.

I'm certain the 'truth will set you free.' And, I'm interested in what the readership of this blog would do in my shoes today.  I know some would argue in a different arena, but what would you do? 

I'd love to hear your comments.

Teen Pregnancy, Where do we go from here?

This morning I'm cruising around the internet, reading my daily newspapers, and scouring magazines for the current cultural trends among teens and I kept coming across this story that Jamie Lynn Spears (sister to Britney Spears) is pregnant. 

Usually celebrity paparazzi type stories don't elicit much response from me, but this one touched a nerve pretty close to home as Jamie Lynn is 16 years old.  Her boyfriend is 18, and some stories are wondering if he will actually be sought after for statutory rape charges; but most explain it away as something both parents were OK with.  Actually, one story charges that Mrs. Spears actually allowed the two to live together in guest quarters behind the house. 

With today's media outlets, who knows what is really true or not, but the facts seem to point to one true issue...mainly two down home, red-blooded American teens are expecting a Baby. 

It happens everyday, and I know I shouldn't highlight one teenage pregnancy over another; but I started researching teenage sexuality trends, and found some interesting statistics. 

The Kaiser Family reports, a survey company that compiles information to see what's going on in the heartbeat of culture, shows that teenage pregnancy is actually on the decline.  In fact, one study shows that 2007 reported the lowest trend in teenagers having sex than in the past 14 years (a total of 47%, down from 56% in 1993).

While that's good news for some of us who think sexuality is a powerful force of humanity that should be saved for a lifelong relationship, these articles I'm reading this morning give me a sad feeling in the pit of my stomach. 

Sad, not because Jamie Lynn and her boyfriend couldn't raise a wonderful family, but sad because I know the other side of pre mature sexual behavior among teens.  I spend my life dealing with the guilt and shame teens feel after engaging in sexual activity before they are really ready to handle it; as it is an intensity in a relationship that confuses what it really means to have meaningful one on one relationships in High School or even in College. 

My hope is as we watch the Spears episode unfold before our voyeuristic eyes, we continue to educate our students about how this not the norm.  One media outlet is reporting that VH1 is even in talks about doing a teenage pregnancy reality show with Jamie Lynn so the world can watch how she handles this newfound pressure in her life.

My heart is heavy because, most likely, we're going to be subjected to a 'made in hollywood' type of a reality series riddled with nuances on how wonderful this pregnancy will be,  while thousands of students are feeling just the opposite.  Most students I talk with don't have the financial resources to support a young child, much less the family support to admit to an active sexual lifestyle.  They feel like they're running around on their parents, or doing something that will forever keep them from the loving merciful relationship with an almighty God.

And, while I truly believe God's ultimate goal is for sexuality to be experienced with a life long mate; the real nature of our world today is...mistakes are common. 

I hope the body of Jesus will reach out and show Jamie Lynn that in spite of her mistake there are people who will love and support her.  My prayer is the students of America will understand her mistake, instead of turning this episode into some sort of iconic rally cry to go and give their sexuality to any boyfriend or girlfriend they are dating today.

The truth about sex is...it's a wonderful thing. 
The truth is...God wants you to experience life more abundantly.
The truth is...sexuality experienced together can produce a level of relationship unknown to someone who doesn't share it.

And that's why I still believe God created marriage.  To experience a  wonderful romantic relationship with the man or woman of your dreams. 

My heart hurts for those who are struggling to find ultimate satisfaction in life, and feel as though they have to jump into something they may not be ready for. 

I'm praying for the Spears family.  God knows with the world watching, this could turn out to destroy a family (see articles on her sister.)  But most of all I know God wants to put his cosmic arms around a lovely young lady and say, "Come and experience the best life I have for you today."

If you're struggling with thoughts about sexuality or God's view of sexuality, I would love to engage in an online discussion.  Go ahead and post a comment with your name, or anonymous if you want, and let's begin to educate students about the nature of human sexuality in a world filled with sexual pressure.

Isn't it awesome to know God loves us in spite of ourselves.  He is most interested in giving humanity the best life possible.  And for that fact, even though my heart is sad for the Spears family, I can find hope.    

The Power of One

A friend of mine is into making videos, and he's one of the greatest guys on the planet.  He's SUPER funny, and loves his work.  He loves his family, and is a JOY to be around. 

Through working on a project I'm doing, he shared with me, their company go a job from the ONE campaign.  And I got excited.

Excited for the exposure for my friend.  Excited for the impact He can have on the mission to End Global poverty.  But most of all, I was excited when he showed me the ad.  Check it out...

Isn't that awesome. Such a great visual to watch people one at a time collaborate on something that turns into thousands.  And then I started thinking again...

One person, one relationship, one meeting at a time seems like such a drag.  One person fed seems like a waste of time.  One coat.  One pair of shoes.  One smile.  One is such a lonely number. 

But watch the video again and insert whatever cause you're trying to tackle.  One person may be small, but one plus one equals 2.

2+2=4
4+4=8
8+8=16
16+16=32
32+32=64
64+64=128

And in 6 generations you're on the verge of 248, and so on, and so on, and so on.  Isn't that awesome.  All it takes is ONE to reach another, and the progression of a movement is exponentially in growth.

It's a phenomenon, even in following Jesus.  One person decides to live like Jesus called, then another catches the vision.  Then another might come along, then another, then another, and before long you see the whole world touched by a religion beginning in the most obscure town on the planet.  It's the way it was meant to be.

The issue comes when one does it right, and the reaction demanded for exponential growth to happen is stopped by pride, greed, or selfishness.  When we dam up the surging growth, we in effect, stop the ultimate potential. 

Just think about it.  If you fed someone hungry today, so they could feed someone hungry tomorrow, and so forth and so on, we could feed everyone in the world.  But if at any point in the chain, someone decides his or her belly is full and that's the ultimate destination, the momentum halts. 

A major problem in Christian circles.....

We tend to think our sense of arrival somehow trumps the need of another, and so we stop the love of God in our own personal lives, rather than reaching out to share that love with a world crying in hunger pain. 

We see our circles as the most important, and so we begin to try and build walls, and insulate ourselves from any outside influence so we can be the most pure, the most holy, or the most deserved of God's blessing in His eyes.

Well, I've got news for you....

That's not how God works.

He didn't give you grace and forgiveness so you could 'hide it under a bushell'  NO!  He gave you the grace of life so you could share your life with someone else today.  He didn't give you food because He thought you were the only one who needed to eat today.  He didn't give you resources out of some sort of righteous blessing.

He gave to you...so you could give to someone else.  And the perpetuation of the circle continues until everyone in the world has the chance to see God move in action. 

The One campaign might be simply to raise awareness for poverty, but the lessons we can learn from exponential growth may simply be....infinite.

Heroes from Across the Pond

It's pretty rare when I'm moved to the point of jumping out of my chair to scream AMEN from my little home like office.  A friend of mine sent me this video, and I thought I'd share it with you.  This is the central theme for my life's mission, and although I don't even know Dave, He's on a short list of heroes in my book.  Check this out, a keynote address to a conservative conference in England.  Watch, and let me know what you think.

Who am I?

As my blood pressure has gone back to normal today, after my little tirade yesterday, I found another video online showing the poverty in Philippines.  Once again, one of the greatest ministries I've ever been involved with is at it again.  Feeding people, giving medical care, focusing on education, and beginning to transform the next generation is at the core of what these people do.   

When I watched the video this time, one question continued resonating in my mind.  As you watch you'll see this incredible artistry combined with the lyrics from one of our nation's greatest song writers to ask Who am I?

Who am I to be born into a family with seeming wealth, compared to global standards.  The United Nations reports that over 1 billion people live on less than $1 a day.  Who am I to be given the mercy and grace to live in a community where Jesus is glorified.  Who am I to have been forgiven?  Who am I to have a job that allows me to continue giving people hope?

What did I do?  What did I do to find myself in a position to have a loving family of my own?  What did I do to ensure food is on the table 3 times a day? 

My soul has shifted from anger to sadness today.  I wish there was a way we could battle the message of selfishness in the world.  I wish there was a movement that could reach out and care for the needs of others like we care about ourselves.  My hope is that we can, in our lifetime, realize a change. 

A change in economics.  A change in community.  A change in the whole paradigm of how we treat each other. 

OH WAIT!  There is.

Who am I? 

I am a child of the King.  I am righteous standing before God.  I am a messenger to places like this to bring hope and help alleviate the pressure of survival.  I am one man who serves humbly to teach students how to begin this revolution. 

ICM is at it again.  So today when you ask who you are, remember there is hope.  There is a way we can contribute to the change that needs to happen so desperately in our world.

Don't skirt the question as you watch this.  Who are you?  And what are you doing to serve those around you?  Together...we CAN change the world.

WHY

How do we get this far? 

This is the ministry in the Philippines I had the chance to go and visit a few weeks ago. It's called International Care Ministries of the Philippines, or ICM for short.

I walked this very bamboo sidewalk and smelled the smells, saw the hopelessness, and watched as people just tried to survive day to day. And, my question is WHY?

Why do we let places like this exist on the earth, while we walk down park avenue in NYC and window shop for the latest Christmas gift? Why are we so consumed with more stuff, when people live like this day in and day out? It makes me go back to my question previously stated on this blog, "What areas of life do we feel the most unrighteous?"

Just watch the video for now, and as my emotions calm into correction, I'll post more later. This just makes me sad. Sad, because I know this is a real place, with real kids living in their own waste.

It's No Longer an Option

It's no Longer an Option.  The Battle Lines have been drawn.   We must not stand in the shadow of complacency and ambiguousness.  It's not and option to sit on the sideline and make excuses.  They're too far away.  What about my life?  How can I make a difference. 

The time to realize the Kingdom Jesus spoke of when He claimed, "The Kingdom of Heaven is Near"  it's that time.  This generation will be one who has the option set at their feet.  Will poverty continue to rule the lives of millions?  Will starvation continue happening around the globe?  Will we continue to allow Children to be sold into a sexual slavery with no hope, no options, or a void of help?

When will we realize enough is enough.  Yes we are prosperous.  Yes we eat every day.  Yes we have clean drinking water; but when will Americans finally come to their senses and recognize the chance of you being born at this longitude and latitude is no more a cosmic mistake than the fact you are breathing at this moment. 

It's no longer an option.  What are you going to do to help bring the real kingdom to earth?
