A Baby Refugee

a Biblical thought...
Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.
(1 Peter 2:16-17)

a Book thought...
Th best way to hear God speak to you is to spend regular time reading, studying, and meditating on his Word. (p110)
a Dave thought...
This Christmas greeting from the Surrender team is a great reminder of how amazing the whole Christmas story is...

Incredible when you think about it, God's great tactic to reconcile the world to himself is through a baby born in a backwater town as a refugee! What a great consolation this Christmas as Shane Claiborne says 'We have a God who enters the world through smallness—as a baby refugee. We have a God who values the little offerings of a single coin from a widow over the megacharity of a millionaire. We have a God who speaks through little people—a stuttering spokesman named Moses; the stubborn donkey of Balaam; a lying brothel owner named Rahab; an adulterous king named David; a ragtag bunch of disciples who betrayed, doubted and denied; and a converted terrorist named Paul'

Lets continue to pray for this kind of radical, upside down, peace-loving Kingdom, this Good News to break out in the most unlikely places this Christmas.

Just a thought.
