I'm sitting in a tropical paradise on a beautiful terrace with a hummingbird right in front of me on retreat at the beach in Moulin sur Mer with the QCS staff. Thank you God for your beautiful creation. And I have the blessing of listening to uplifting praise music on my laptop while I write.
I have so much to think about after yesterday's presentation by Corrigan Clay. There are several points that I want to think more about. I think I'll write about them in different blog entries.
He talked about us being 'anoint-lings'. That is, Christian means followers of Christ and Christ means 'anointed one.' He was emphasizing that Christ was anointed with God's power. He thinks that we should be seeing greater things happening through us because we are annointed as well.
Related to this, he talked about how the expressions "making disciples" and "teaching them all that I have commanded you." refers to the way disciples of rabbis at the time of Jesus tried to do everything exactly like their rabbis. That is what we should be like -- disciples of our rabbi, Jesus, trying to do everything exactly like he does. So...I'm going back again to that struggle over whether I'm allowing God to display his power through anywhere near the way He would like to. Well, time to go....more later
