Kingdom work....

I received a call yesterday asking me to put together a team of guys to come and do the project in Leeds, England for WEC International. They now have a deadline to complete the work which is the end of March. I am looking at February, if any of you men are interested in going with me just click here and let me know. There will be plumbing, electrical, carpentry, masonry, plastering, painting, cabinet and countertop work to be done.

As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with his death - we give over our lives to death. Thus it begins; the cross is not the terrible end to an otherwise God-fearing and happy life, but it meets us at the beginning of our communion with Christ. When Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die. It may be a death like that of the first disciples who had to leave home and work to follow Him, or it may be a death like Luther's, who had to leave the monastery and go out into the world.... Jesus' summons to the rich young man was calling him to die, because only the man who is dead to his own will can follow Christ. In fact, every command of Jesus is a call to die, with all our affections and lusts.... Every day [the Christian] encounters new temptations, and every day he must  suffer anew for Jesus Christ's sake. The wounds and scars he receives in the fray are living tokens of this participation in the cross of his Lord.                  Dietrich Bonhoeffer
