Ten years ago a fellow chaplain shared these thoughts with me… they are worth reconsidering…

walk closely with Christ

WANT TO be there

have people you can cuss at about work. your wife cannot sustain this

you are a safe person to others, keep objectivity

seek to be the safest person they know

I saw this pic (Picture credit: AFP, NASA) in an Economist artice (you should read, click here) and wanted to post it. How sad for the millions of North Koreans who live in such a dark place. Their poverty expressed in a dark night virtually creates line on a map.

7 questions for a Scripture-centered, transformation seeking conversation.

1. What are you thankful for today?

2. What are you struggling with today?

3. If this story is from God, what does it teach us about him?

4. If this story is from God, what does it teach us about me? (Humanity?)

5. If this story is from God, how does it apply to me? or What does God need to change IN MY heart?

6. If this story is from God, what should we do together to obey this message from God?

7. Who could you share this story with?

These questions have been around for a good while, I first heard of them more than a decade ago. They were a method being used in a Deaf church in Eastern Europe I once attended. These particular questions are my adaptation from those used in the Church Planting Movement in their Discovery Bible Study. I learned about this in the Balkans a couple of years ago. I have continued to use and adapt them in transformation seeking conversations.
