Invitation, Week 7, Day 46

Invitation, Week 7, Day 46

LUKE 10:4 | Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and greet no one on the road.

This verse is about urgency. Make sure you have no impediments preventing you from healing, helping and sharing. You can even skip the time-consuming, elaborate middle eastern greeting rituals. Get moving!

Why the urgency? Well for one thing, the fields are ripe and ready. In the second place, the opposition is building. Thirdly the kingdom message is itself paramount, for it brings new relationships, new purpose, and new life.

Do you have a sense of urgency?

Do you have impediments?

Tags: help, heal, share, urgency, ripe

Dave Joynt began his service as a pastor at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona in September 2014.

Dave was nurtured in a great church in Bethlehem where his parents, Anne and Carey, served as elders. He graduated in classics from Lehigh University where his Father taught, and then from Oxford, where he met his wife Julia. Ordained in 1988, he completed a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993.
