"Word Made Flesh is called and committed to serve Jesus among the most vulnerable of the world’s poor. This calling is realized as a prophetic ministry for, and an incarnational, holistic mission among the poor. We focus our energy to make Jesus known among the poor while reconciling the church with the poor."
Each week at the Habitat for Humanity staff meeting, a staff member starts us off with a devotion. As an unspoken rule, we cannot go too many weeks without one from Short Daily Devotions. They are an excellent way to stay in the Word on a daily basis, especially when you are feeling overwhelmed or incredibly busy.
David Platt challenges Christians to do more than come to church on Sunday and have a basic understanding of the Bible. He wants Christians in America to reexamine their lifestyle based on what scripture says. Did Jesus really mean that we should give away all of our possessions? Even if you do not agree with the book 100% of the time, it will certainly motivate you to think critically about what it means to be a Christian rather than an "American Christian."
After exchanging messages and having a thoughtful conversation with a pastor at my church, I decided to check out a movie that he mentioned he had started and wanted to finish. While you may or may not agree with the main points of the movie, it will definitely cause you to think and lead to a productive discussion. This film raises questions about what the Bible actually says about gays and lesbians. I encourage you to take a look for yourself.
