Chapter 6

To summarize the global mandate: As we are going, share the gospel with all of God's creation - everyone, everywhere - so that all on earth might believe.

Yesterday, as I was dropping Evan off at school, I got cut off by someone with the Jesus fish on the back of their car. I kept thinking, is that what Jesus would do? Does He really want you to cut to the front of the line?  You're THAT important? Which is why I don't want to put a St. Philip's decal on the back of my car. What if that person turns out to be me on a bad day, what kind of message would I be sending about St. Philip's? "As we are going" sometimes does not leave a good impression.

A good friend once told me, "church would be a great place if it weren't for all the people." We're just all so, well, human.
