I’m Back

Well, it has been a while since posting.  Like everyone else, I have been busy.  Getting back from my third international trip this year and with school getting started back, I have been playing catch up.  I just got back from Little Rock about midnight last night.  I attended part of the Work That Matters Conference.  I even led a seminar entitled “Pulled in All Directions.”  I should have been taking the seminar rather than leading it.  It was a blessing to see a lot of friends.  God spoke through Dr. David Platt in an incredible way.  His message on our desperation for God’s glory is always appropriate and needful.

I am beginning a new series on Authenticity: Living with Simplicity and Integrity.  I have always had a desire to be authentic, to be real, not a sham nor a fraud.  My flesh challenges that desire in that I am constantly tempted to present myself in the best light, cover up my failures, exaggerate my strengths, and beg for the praises of people.  I am grateful that God has made me aware of my tendencies and leanings.  I am more grateful that He has somehow by His grace has given me a desire to reject these propensities.  When I am authentic, then my weaknesses are magnified and my strengths are minimized.    When my weaknesses are magnified, then His power is manifested in me.

Research indicates that a lost world looks for authenticity, but more important that a lost world looking for authenticity is that God is calling out for authenticity.  Let’s pray together that God will create in us an authentic walk and life transformation.

I plan using the format of the blog to address some issues on the political horizon.  That should generate some interesting conversation.  Until next time. . . Wes
