Fallacy

USA, MAR 19 -
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”

"I didn't know you were in full-time Christian work,"
said my close friend as we were driving.
"I didn't realize that," she went on.
I responded, "Every person who has followed the will of God in their life is in full-time Christian work." God calls some to the mission field, others to be accountants, and others to be advertising executives, and still others to be construction workers. God never made a distinction between sacred and secular. In fact, the Hebrew word "avodah" is the root word having the same meaning of "work" and "worship." God sees our work as worship.

We have incorrectly elevated the role of the Christian worker to be more holy and committed than the person who is serving in a more secular environment. Yet the call to the secular workplace is as important as any other calling. God has to have His people in every sphere of life. Otherwise, many would never come to know Him because they would be separated from society.

I learned this lesson personally when I sought to go into "full-time" service as a pastor in my late twenties, only to have God thrust me back into the business world unwillingly. This turned out to
be the best thing He could have done for me, because it was never His will for me to be a pastor.
He knew I was more suited for the workplace.

We are all in missions. Some are called to foreign lands. Some are called to the jungles of the workplace. Wherever you are called, serve the Lord in that place. Let Him demonstrate His power through your life so that others might experience Him through you today and see your vocation as worship to His glory.

Climbing via Janda Baik

KL, MAR 28 -  It was a Sunday morning when Brother K H Chan joined a gang of approximately forty climbers, for an adventure. They went trekking from Janda Baik, to Gunung Nuang.

[Skip to photo gallery]

Here's what Chan had to say about the trip:

“ Here are the photos for Nuang from Janda Baik. The scenery is very good and we had a secret waterfall to play at after the trek.

The youngest person (12 years old) managed to complete the walk too.

Fastest speed is about 2.5 hours to the peak and average time is about 3 to 4 hours. Coming back is even faster, average speed is about 2.5 hours.

 Our men should not be afraid to join us as anyone can take their time to make it. You do not need to complete the trail and at any time you can turn back. The trail is very clear. Just stick to your buddy so you will not get lost. If not sure, just rest along the trail until some climbers come along.”

Real Man

Shared by mail from Ray Lee

Dear Son,

  Tomorrow you turn 7 years old and I have been racking my brain about how to tie this birthday into a bigger picture manhood plan for you. I have been re-reading a book by Robert Lewis called Raising a Modern-Day Knight. He subtitles it, “A Father’s Role In Guiding His Son To Authentic Manhood.” It is a great read and very thought-provoking. He suggests making a big deal of some key dates on your calendar.

1. Your 13th birthday – in your teenage years you will go through a lot of changes as you start the transition from being a boy to becoming a man

2. Your graduation from high school – when you graduate you will experience more freedom than you have ever had and you will start to move from the authority of our home to launching out on your own

3. Your graduation from college – when you graduate from college (or trade school or whatever training process to prepare you for your career) you will have a big transition as a man who must face the world and begin providing for himself

4. Your marriage day – someday you will assume responsibility for a wife and a family of you own (Lord willing). And you will be King of your castle.

I want to add your 7th Birthday to that mix of special days. You are moving from childhood to boyhood. The next few years are filled with so many activities that are golden opportunities and are great years to begin to form some great habits that will lead you to being ready for the next manhood stages. You are a first grader now and it is time to take more responsibilities. But I am trying to figure out what your expectations should be over the next few years.

I really like Lewis’ definition of manhood

A real man
Rejects Passivity

Accepts Responsibility

Leads Courageously

Expects a Greater Reward

I know you want to be the King sometimes, but for now you will have be content to be a prince in my castle. I hope your time at home will prepare you to be the man you were created to be. My goal is to give you everything I can to help you navigate these next few years. It is my prayer that these letters will be a reminder of principles to guide your way and maybe you can even pass these on to your children some day. Pretty good stuff, huh? We will start filling in the blanks over the next few years. I would like to start taking you to breakfast about once a week where we can talk through what it means to be a man. I am looking forward to our man breakfast.

Love, 
Dad.
