Questions from 2 Corinthians

Last week at Lake Balaton I was speaking from Paul’s letter that we call Second Corinthians. Some questions that I’ve asked here are:

Who should you be praying for that is not moving toward God?

What are the things in your life which are draining your attention from growing in God?

What do I do with the suffering that I endure?

In whom or what do I find my significance?

What are the successful strategies you have used to grow your faith?

Stream of Love

This morning (Tuesday the 24th… need wifi – not sure when this will post. I awoke to the sound of barking dogs and crowing roosters. I’m in a different world, I’m in the countryside of Ukraine.

I realized a couple of things this morning. First, I am in a place of peace in a potential place for rest. There is no Internet near here, the is nothing to clean or organize. There is just time, two days of it with only a few brief talks to give. I think I am here to rest up a bit. Second, this year is the tenth year, this is the tenth camp season sice we helped the church here to buy the camp. Praise God!

Wednesday

Today has been a mixed day… I volunteered breakfast duty so we showed up at 7:15 to set tables, slice meat, bread and vegetables… then I jumped in for dishwashing – I felt like Brother Lawrence as I sang my way through a hundred dishes and serving dishes… after the morning session I offered a session on using Scripture to strengthen faith by going through ‘the path’… there was an encouraging turn out as captured by Laci…

After lunch I met with a Christian journalist and helped him think about fund raising and then went for a hike… I took this from the top of a railroad tunnel…

Thanks for praying! Stay tuned.

Grateful to be serving

I’m in Hungary at Lake Balaton and am blessed to be teaching from 2 Corinthians 4:7-??? this week (I’m no longer sure how far I’m going to get). Tonight we considered Paul’s life in light of verses 8-9. It is great how scripture reminds us of God’s faithfulness. Tomorrow I get to teach “The Path” (link on right) in a breakout session. Laci took this shot of me teaching tonight…
