i just stepped off the podium at the church that we attend from preaching my first ever sermon...and what else should i preach about but love....
in 1st corninthians 13 it speaks about love in its truest form...it speaks of never ending love...it speaks about faith and hope and love and that the greatest of these is love...
we are called to love others...
it is biblical...
before we are ever supposed to tell people about the gospel or pass out stupid tracts and stupid dvd's(to be explained in a later blog)we are to show them love...however we can...
whether that means eating lunch with a homeless man...sharing a coke with a drunk person...talking about love with a whore...we are to show the world love...
the Lord is showing me things on this trip that i would never have learned about or even known about...i have been reading a book called the irrisistable revolution by shane claiborne and it is changing my perspective on life...
just because a person may be drunk or homeless or a whore doesn't mean that they don't deserve our love does it?
i mean if you think about it, jesus was kind of homeless...
he went from place to place with only the love of other to live on...
living on love...now there is a concept...
i talked this mornign about how love never ends and the old quote that love is contagious...if love never ends and in fact it is contagious then why are we as believers not showing more people our love...a never ending contagious love sounds good to me...
i know that i have talked in past blogs to stop what you are doing and hang out with stangers...have you done that?...we are called to love and called to tell people about the Lord...
so i continue to reiterate that concept...hang out with people...eat with someone you don't know...invite some people over for dinner...just be a good person...and through our love others will see the love that He has shown to us...
that is all for now...
Make His name Famous...
most forest...
the forest where i'm going...

BOBBY!!!! ahhh im so excited for you. I got back from Uganda a week ago. While I was there it felt like i had been there for months, but now that I'm back it went too quick! So take every minute of everyday to love every person you meet. I can't wait to hear all about your trip when you get back. I might just spend a billion dollars in gas to drive down to the BG to visit!
Bobby,
I got your address from your mom at Sonic last week and tried to sign in but didn't master it. I am amazed at your postings! You are doing wonderful work, and I know your parents and everyone who knows you must be very proud of you. The children are so precious, and I'd love you to bring back a little boy or girl for me! I hope they are being well cared for and loved! You are building up treasures in heaven, and I hope you feel God's hand as you try to reach more people for Him. You will be in our prayers and I hope to hear about your trip when you return. God's blessings to you and the people you are ministering to.
Robin Pemberton (your former Children's Choir teacher at Eastwood)
