God loves me...

So this week in Radical we're discussing Chapter 4. And can I just say that the first 4 pages of this chapter infuriated me!!! In summary...David Platt was meeting with a preacher and some deacons from a church that supports him and in which he was about to preach in. He told of the missions he's been involved in both in the US and overseas. When he finished a deacon looked at him and said "David, I think it's great you are going to those places. But if you ask me, I would just as soon God annihilate all those people and send them to hell." WHAT??? Are you serious?? I slammed the book shut and had to do some deep breathing! I opened it back up expecting the preacher to set him straight and "God smack" him or something...but that didn't happen. "After a moment of silence, the rest of the room resumed conversation as if nothing out of the ordinary had just happened." Wait it gets worse...the next morning, after Platt preaches to the congration for him to preach about going to all the nations with the gospel the preacher gets up and says this..."Brother David, we are so excited about all that God is doing in New Orleans and in all nations, and we are excited that you are serving there...And, brother, we promise we will continue to send you a check so we don't have to go there ourselves."

At this point...I'm angry! I couldn't read anymore that day. I was so mad I didn't even tell anyone what I had just read. Well the next day I picked it back up and continued on...Platt said, "Could it be that this deacon and this preacher expressed what most professing Christians in America today believe but are not bold enough to say?" Then I realized...It's true! When I was raising money for Africa, I can't count the number of people who said "God hasn't called me to go, so I'll give you money so He won't." It's disappointing to know that there are so many "christians" in America so comfortable that they wouldn't dare get on a plane to go overseas...not for missions at least. They'll send their children on mission trips in the U.S. once each summer. They'll give money to Lottie Moon. But they won't even think of going themselves.

Calvary is getting a team of people together to go to China with some M's that we support. Bro. Grant announced that we would have a meeting soon for all who are intrested. 10 is the limit. Oh how I pray that there are WAY, WAY too many people willing to go! I pray we have 4 and 5 teams of people willing to go. Not just to China...but where ever He asks! What would have happened if Paul would have been sitting in prison and said "You know what God, I'm through...when I'm out, I'm not going any further." The gospel wouldn't have made it to Rome...Paul was able to take it there BECAUSE he was in prison! I have a feeling that if most of us were in his place...we would have seen being thrown in prision as "God closing a door"...not as God fulfilling a promise to His servant!

"If we lack a heart of compassion for all peoples of the world who seek to make God known among them, then we are missing the heart of God because that is where His is."

This life you have is NOT about YOU! "If you ask the average Christian sitting in a worship service on Sunday morning to summarize the message of Christianity, you would most likley hear something along the lines of "The message of Christianity is that God loves me." Or someone might say "The message is that God loved me enough to send his Son, Jesus, to die for me." But if God loves ME is the message of Christianity, then who is the object of Christianity?
God loves me.
Me.
Christianity's object is me.
Wrong!!! "The message of biblical Christianity is "God loves me so that I might make HIM-His ways, His salvation, His glory, and His greatness-known among all nations!...We are not the end of the gospel; God is."

Let that soak in...

It's not about you!

I suppose I'll stop there for today. If you haven't yet...I encourage you to grab you a copy of David Platt's Radical and prepare for your toes to start hurting!

In Christ,
Desiree' Roos

So, I've decited to use my blog...

So, I made this blog a couple semesters ago as a class assignment (random I know) well after some inspiration from Cody I've decided perhaps I should start using my blog as well. :) We've decided that these blogs are really just modern day Xangas. Haha

I got a postcard from Lacy today from Ireland. I'm quite excited about it! She's doing well, says everything is pretty...but not as pretty as the postcard. Haha That made me giggle!

I've realized lately how incredibly selfish I am...I'll read my bible, when I'm not tired, when I'm not too busy, when I have nothing else to do. I'll serve where I want to. I'll talk to who I want to...Do you see the problem? It's not about me...so why do I keep saying "I?" I was talking to Mary about this and we decided it's about time we get back in the routine of a daily quiet time! So we're going through the book of 1 Corinthians together. I'm so excited to see how God works and teaches us through this! School will be starting back before we know it and this is what our BSU family group will be studying. I'm so very excited to meet my new family group and start getting in the word with some awesome college students.

Well, I think this is enough for my first real post...I'll be back again soon.

In Christ,
Desiree'

Here's a song that's been speaking to me lately:

Blink by Revive


Teach me to number my days
And count every moment before it slips away
Taking all the colors before they fade to gray
I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink
It happens in a flash
It happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink

When it's all said and done
No one remembers how far we have run
The only thing that matters is how we have loved
I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink

Slow down, slow down
Before today becomes our yesterday
Slow down, slow down
Before you turn around and it's too late

It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink

Love this song!

None but Jesus
by Hillsong

In the quiet, in the stillness
I know that You are God
In the secret of Your presence
I know there I am restored
When You call I won't refuse
Each new day again I'll choose

There is no one else for me
None but JesusCrucified to set me free
Now I live to bring Him praise

In the chaos, in confusion
I know You're Sovereign still
In the moment of my weakness
You give me grace to do Your will
When You call I won't delay
This my song through all my days

All my delight is in You Lord
All of my hope, all of my strength
All my delight is in You Lord Forevermore
