I\u2019m glad man was not created until the sixth day of the creative week. Imagine how life would have been when \u201cthe earth was without form, and void (Gen. 1:2). I\u2019m having trouble even imagining that as I write this from Whistler, in the beautiful, snow-covered mountains of British Columbia, Canada. While there is God-created beauty in the flatlands (I was in the desert of southeast New Mexico last weekend.) somehow \u201cform\u201d demonstrates itself more dramatically in the mountains. I love the beauty of both because they remind me of mankind. That which God created in nature, he duplicated in human beings. There are those folks whose life is like the mountains: bold, dramatic, highly-visible, etc. Then there are those whose life is like the flatland: plain, simple, non-assuming, etc. It would be a boring, monotonous existence if life was all mountains or all flatlands and if friends, were \u201cwithout form, and void.\u201d Would you like to join me this week in celebrating God\u2019s creative diversity?<\/p>\n
And join me in praying for the following global concerns:
\n\u2022 Pray for a new church start in Northeast Poland.
\n\u2022 Join students from Southwestern Baptist Seminary and me as we prayerwalk on Tuesday for new church starts in the Fraser River Delta, south of Vancouver, Canada.
\n\u2022 Pray for those suffering and recovering from the devastating floods in the southeast U.S. as well as those who are dealing with the consequences of an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
\n\u2022 Give thanks that a 40 foot container belonging to a recently arrived missionary family made it from Texas to Zambia!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
