Appointment

So I heard a titillating message today that spoke of considering oneself appointed by God to accomplish a mission, and the resultant urgency and determination with which we would operate if we did. Exciting stuff and absolutely the kick in the pants I needed to put my beliefs into action.

In what do I have my belief? Well first of all, Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. Secondly, that because I have accepted Jesus, He in turn has filled me with the Holy Spirit, who prompts us to live lives worthy of the calling we have received. I believe that in my case that calling is to build schools that create safe havens for children to learn, grow, THINK and meet Jesus Christ.

Because I have decided to put my faith in Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible, I am fully convinced of a few things. Here are some of them: first, that this world is dying and our only hope is Jesus Christ; secondly, while I still have breath it is my obligation to be as helpful and productive as humanly possible; and third, that NOT giving rising generations as much as we have to offer is sinful. I don't expect or demand that everyone I meet become followers of Jesus, but it is important that they have the opportunity.

As the comedic magician (and atheist) Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller put it, "How much do you have to hate someone to NOT proselytize? How much do you have to hate someone to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them?" Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCdCVto2MN8.

So I don't yet know how it will be done, or who will be involved, but I have resolved that I cannot not get about this any longer. If you are a praying person and believe our children need/deserve much more than what they currently receive from our schools, please join me in prayer.
