Break the chains

I long to travel somewhere and meet new people, start conversations, tell jokes, take pictures, make new friends, influence lives, tell people about Miami, tell them about Christ, about the coming Kingdom, about movies and books, about the frailty of the heart, the struggles I’ve felt, the power of a compliment, of smiles, of tears, of forgiveness unlike we’ve ever experienced. If there’s one thing the Bible makes very clear is that God chooses the nobodies of this world and uses them greatly for his glory. He picks the sheperd boys, the tax collectors, the poor, the weak, the lonely, the orphans, the widows, the cowards, the hobbits of this world and turns them into kings and great men and women. Living in a country where anything is possible, I’ve come to realize that all the cliche terms I’ve heard growing up are true. You CAN become anything you want in this country. A dear friend of mine finds himself and his family in the position of possibly being deported in a manner of months. Our time here is so limited. Do something with your life. Stop being a slave to the things of this world and become a slave to righteousness. Get out of your comfortable box and take a risk. Experience the life of faith and find that you are not alone. You were never alone.

    Amen bro! Good words from Mommy’s Li’l Angel. :-) Dude, you should come to Romania with me in August. Then you can minister to the widows, and orphans, and jazz.

    Well said. We are nothing until we become Nobody. I vote you spend the bucks and go with Cautioneer, just cuz I can’t. Been to Mexico and Ecuador, and itching to go back…but Romania is a bit out of reach.

    I don’t believe you’ve asked me before. Here’s a list of references to the kingdom in the New Testament.

    but, do you believe the kingdom will come here or that you are sent to it? and…do you believe there is a specific time for it? i know it is near… because it is told in the bible that the “last days” will have nations will be against nations, kingdom against kingdom, food shortages, pestilence, cruel men, lovers of money…et cetera. but, im very interested to know what you think.
