I was just in the car and thinking about MMM in that I had not made a posting today and wondered what it is that would be fitting to speak about today. You see, I woke up to the radio saying that in the US, there is now a war on Christians. Where at one time I would have agreed out of ideology, for some reason, this morning I actually took a step back and considered it. Hearing that led me into prayer.

I then spent my daay fulfilling requests and trying to work towards deadlines, and found myself somewhat overwhelmed. I even went to a few websites, looking to see if there was any "good word" to be found spoken amongst the brethren. I found much bickering and arguing. Not so much building. And even the things that I read that were building, they were not even given much attention. Seeing that led me again into prayer.

And finally, as I was in the car coming home, I was listening to a song. The title of the song was Stir the Gifts. While it was a song that I had heard many times before. There was a line that really spoke to me and encouraged me to keep on. It said: "there's a power, resting in me//there''s a power, resting in me//stir the gift stir the gifts stir the gift..." The next song said simply that prayerr changes things. I felt that at that time, the most effective mobile ministry that I could do was to pray.

As I prayed, the Lord led me to share this. It is not the fact that we have mobile devices that people want to talk to us. It is not about our presentation, not about our stature. The gift that God has laid in each of us is to be a light and a sign for the present Kingdom of God. And whether you use a PDA in a far off land, or a networking website a few miles away, we are made to point the way to the heart of God by way of Christ Jesus. So you might not see anything big now. Its ok. Sowing and reaping takes time. And even in that, you must persist, you must grow, you must endure. For it doesn't matter how many you get, but that you get any.

I do hope that you all have a blessed night. Consider that this walk, with and without tech, would not be possible without Christ calling us, growing us, annd pruning us. Grace and peace to you all
