Simple Mobility to Simple Ministry
I sit beside a person on the Metro who has a daytimer (paper, leatherbound), and I am something near amazed at how far simple things such as to-do lists have come. It is amazing that so much can be done electronically, and at the same time, this mobility is a simple thing. We only want to use and access information quickly and efficiently, while making time for those things we deem as most important.
I think now if the scripture where Jesus commissioned disciples to go out, but to carry very little. The point was not to be poor, but to keep ministry simple and reliance completly on God and not themselves or riches they'd be associated with. How hard that is in this time where being mobile is a sign of affulence - is affulence.
How simple can ministry be then if we take away the ticks and pens that give form to our day, and then just rely on God with no matter what is in our hands.
