Three Is Enough

Okay, let’s just admit it, so far I am a total failure at living up my several blog-posts per week pledge. I am just like the person saying they are going on a diet—only to raid the fridge that very night!

I do have some excuses: I’ve been traveling a great deal; I am finishing one book with IVP and starting a second. I’ve also been occupied getting all the legal non-profit issues finished for SFKL.

On the fun side, my TiE Group is having an enlightening time reading Dallas Willard’s Hearing God.

Hear is our favorite quote from last week:

…we demean God immeasurably by casting him in the role of the cosmic boss, foreman or autocrat, whose chief joy in relation to humans is ordering them around, taking pleasure in seeing them jump at his command and painstakingly noting down any failures. Instead we are to be God’s friends (2 Chron. 20.7; John 15.13 – 15) and fellow workers (1 Cor. 3.9).

We’ve noted that we are doing pretty well with the pray part, really good on the grow part, but we are needing to pay more careful attention to, and be more creative about the serving parts.

How about you—what is happening with your TiE Group?
