Back on forward

It was a busy weekend with the retreat, concert, and assorted production meetings (more on that later). I am not a fan of being busy. I like having some space between things- like having a 30 gigabyte hard drive but using only about 10 gibabytes.
Retreat topic was "A minister in the marketplace."
Some practical teaching and application on how to minister in the marketplace.

Now before you start thinking- wear those Jesus t-shirts or become a sandwich board or stand up in the carfeteria and preach everyday- that's not the application that was taught. I am sure these may be effective in certain instances but may alienate quite a few. No, the teacher suggested what appeared to be an opposite approach- not to start with sharing the good news. What?!!
Yep, start by observing and noticing any needs. Then speak peace or blessing to those needs- offer assistance or pray. When God comes through- recognize it and then a platform for sharing the gospel materializes. More on the retreat later.
