Amanda

a Biblical thought...
Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." (Mark 10:21)

a Book thought...
Jesus ministry happened not in the midst of an artificial, controlled community, but in the midst of real-world community. (p102 Logan & Miller)
a Dave thought...
Last night at the Box Hill Corps it was great to hear Cadet Amanda Vaarzon-Morel give the message in the 6pm service. I have been privileged to be a part of Amanda's journey into training college including taking her through soldiership classes. She gave a great message about surrendering all of our lives to God, and her poise and delivery were faultless. But what was far more impressive is the humble way she delivers the message God has laid on heart. Knowing that she lives a fully surrendered life and is not up there for the show or to impress people was certainly evident. Many came forward for prayer and were impacted by the message God gave through her. Amanda is going to be an outstanding officer because she loves loves God fully and is willing to be His obedient servant.

Just a thought.

Sounds really beautiful. Wish I could have been there to hear what God had to say through Amanda!

I have to say I'm seriously worried by Luther being used as an illustration as he appears to have been here - who would use a vicious antisemite as an example for understanding someone of good stature?
