| | I was driving on my way to Pasadena this morning and saw a young maybe twenty year old driving a new decked out $120,000 Mercedes SL 600.
I instantly thought to myself and prayed, "Lord, give me the opportunity to ask that girl; 'So, do you want to live out your day as a conspicuously consumeristic unfulfilled materialist searching for the next anything that will give you a cheap thrill while there are little boys and girls in Iasi, Romania living in virtual trash heaps formerly known as communist block housing, dying from falling off the stair well because there are no rails. Or do you want to do something significant with your life and make a difference in the world?'"
A bit ranty, condescending and potentially judgmental, I know. Then God said, "Tom, look at your last blog entry. You too struggle with that issue as well."
I have been talking with a few emerging leaders lately, helping them process what God might could do with their life if they begged Him to allow them be a part of His grand mission. It might be hard, a struggle and cost them everything, but I think I remember reading somewhere where Jesus said that was somehow part of discipleship.
