Proper Introductions


People in India are so different from people in America. Even those who don’t “believe” in G*d still know the characteristic of G*d in America.  They are familiar with Him even if they don’t know Him.  G*d has a reputation of sorts in America.  I realized that here if you asked someone to trust in the One True G*d, they have no basis or foundation to put that trust on. Sometimes when I talk to someone about the Father, it is literally the first time they are ever hearing His name.  If I told my friend Ashley to meet my friend Erika, and I told her she was the most trust worthy person I knew, that might make Ashley want to meet Erika, but it wouldn’t make Ashley immediately trust Erika, much less allow her to be in charge of all of her life, time, and possessions. The same is true here. When I talk about the Father, I am merely introducing people to the ONE I know. First impressions are important.  My relationship with the ONE is important.  What I say and how I explain Him is important.  I am literally introducing people to Him for the first time usually.  What a privilege it is to be able to introduce my dear friend and Father to others. My prayer and hope is that I never miss an opportunity for proper introductions, and that I would live my life in such a way that others can see the relationship with the ONE that is possible when they live in communion with Him.

The Bhindi or “Tikka” Mark on the Head- What is it?

Image
(Pooja tikka mark) Many westerners have asked me what the Bhindi or red “tikka” mark means or why I am willing to wear it as a Chri$tian. Many people associate this mark with H!nduism. In my contextualization classes we were taught about finding the difference between culture and religion. The scripture is clear that we don’t want to do anything to compromise our Chri$tian faith and values. At the same time the go$pel is full of the liberties that Chri$t brought to us through the cross. We are no longer obligated to religious practices and rituals. Chri$t fulfilled the law. As we work with non-believers we don’t want to make Chri$tianity another religion. We don’t want to make following Chri$t more difficult than it has to be. Following Je$us doesn’t have to mean abandoning culture, it just has to mean abandoning any other faith or practices of that faith. As teachers, we have to help our disciples find this difference as they come to follow the Father more and more. We don

But God...

Every Knee Will Bow And Every Tongue Will Confess Truly everywhere we look is need- physical, emotional, financial, and spiritual. I see the man with elephantitis lift his giant leg to shift his position as he sits on a mat begging for money on the side of the road. I see a woman sitting on a patch of grass on the edge of a busy highway practicing her meditation attempting to find her inner peace. I see a young girl on her way to school stop to touch the street cow and then touch her own forehead in hopes that her Hindu practices will reap the blessing from her god (cow). Simultaneously, I see a shop keeper allow the giant cow to mosey along his street front restaurant; he even offers the cow freshly made roti (bread) as to not offend his “god” passing by. I see another person practicing yoga with all the pristine positions and poses. Her breaths are well practiced, yet her face is stricken with the look of anxiety and distress.  I see a young man who was

The ugliness I sometimes see

Image
We returned home today, August 18th, to the vastly different country that I now call "home". The things I so easily become immune to while living here rage their ugly heads whenever I return. It’s a mini culture shock and re-initiation if you will. I watched from my hotel window as a woman outside bathed her child in brown water. They live in an uncompleted brick shack with holes and a plastic sheet roof that monsoon has mostly destroyed already. Besides the beauty in the color of the scraps of clothes they are wearing there is nothing beautiful to the sight. No running water, no comforts to enjoy- simply day to day survival. My heart broke as I watched her. I looked down to my own sleeping baby tucked away in a nice crib with clean sheets and clean clothes. Sin is a horrible thing! It’s mared the world God created and his original beauty designed. It’s brought sickness, poverty, and brokenness. My heart aches for this woman, and at the same time rejoices in the
