What This World Needs Is Some Jesus

Last week I spend my vacation deep into the Ozark Mountains competing in a National Backcountry Flying event. I had zero, nada, zip, not even a little bit of cell service until I re-entered society yesterday. Let me tell you, it was amazing! There was probably over a thousand people there between pilots, event staff and fans. I was honored to get to lead each day in prayer for the pilots and staff and I had people coming up to me all week long thanking me for starting the day with the Lord. Folks, He is still present today if we look past the filth of our world and try to find Him. But as I came back to the world yesterday, the filth raised it’s head... As I like to say, “What this world needs is some Jesus!” People just don’t believe in much of anything anymore. They mock it all. All social institutions are viewed as inherently flawed and passé--government is assumed to be abusive; businesses all just organized rip-offs; the church corrupt and lying; and monogamous, lifelong marriage just slavery.Our world needs Christians and the Christian message more than ever. We can be bringers and explainers of hope to a world that is desperate for something noble and big and good to believe in again. We can spread a message that our God is still powerful and wise and loving and that he is already living in the future to make it better for his believers. Who could be more of an idealist than a biblical Christian? For believers the future is always better than the past. Christ makes optimists of us all, and He is already writing the ending chapters of the book of our lives and they contain a happy ending. Who doesn’t need to hear that!? “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”Psalms 27:14 It’s good to be home, I missed y’all. Be Nice, Grace wins
