The last couple of days have been spent doing a fair bit of reading and thinking.
As much as I know this is really important, at times it is hard to feel like it is valid ‘work’. Isn’t our job to be with people?…
I can feel like I am doing something wrong if I take a day just to read and study. And yet without that time apart my value in the bigger picture is limited.
I have been reading some excellent essays from this missionary textbook as well as chewing thru what Paul means when he uses his ‘all things to all people’ statement in 1 Cor 9.
I believe any Christian leader who isn’t regularly reading, thinking and processing ideas relating to misson and ministry is in dangerous territory.
