When God uses chumps like me

Today was such a good day. We had an awesome CSLT meeting in the morning where God turned the ship in a new direction. super excited about that. i went for a run with Chris at Discovery Park. about 4 miles. it was overcast, but the surroundings were gorgeous. Seattle is such a beautiful city where you can be five minutes from obvious city and feel like you’re five hours from a city. 

i bought a camera from Costco so that i could take pics of the ministry stuff i’m doing and keep people up to date. it’s cheap and i might end up returning it. i don’t like it too much right now. the quality of pics are sooooo bad compared to my nikon that got stolen. oh well.

Tonight we did TFC (Theological Fight Club) at The Ram, a sports bar in U-village. for TFC we get our guy leaders together and go through a chapter or two of Biblical doctrine in Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology. We spend about two hours talking about how the Bible blew our mind, worshipping over how awesome God is in so many ways; debating over tons of stuff and bringing everything back to Scripture; and challenging ourselves to the implications of lifechange if we really believe all the stuff we’re so excitedly talk about. tonight we talked about glorification and the return of Jesus. after we worshipped over how gracious God is, we were sobered by the converse fact that Hell is real, and people are going there to pay for sin and the belittling of God’s glory–like we should be, except that God’s sovereign grace saved us. seeing such fruit begin to come out of that group of guys. usually it’s been around 15, but we killed it for the rest of the year and made it more of a student led activity now. i put a pic of some of the guys below so y’all can see.

be so encouraged. Jesus is building HIS college ministry.
