The list

-
reading aloud to my kids showering in my home walking in heels brushing my teeth with tap water pushing a grocery cart upping a flight of stairs putting a gallon of milk in the fridge breathing easily or unassisted taking a walk washing my face in the bathroom sink shutting my car door singing a mid-range tune dancing, even just a little bit taking a dish out of the oven sitting comfortably This is the list of things that I can do now but that 18 months ago I could not. I could take many words and explain why, but that's not the reason why I'm writing today. My list was temporary, although it didn't feel that way at the time. My limitations were coming from many directions and circumstances, and they lasted around a year.  During that time, God gave me increasing clarity about the things that last: God, His Word, my soul, the souls of others. During this time in 2020 when so many things in life have to cease, I can look at this list, now res...

The Music of the Gospel

-
Keith Johnson, director and organizer of the seminary classes, wrote an article about the music of the gospel. He said to imagine a young man sitting in a chair listening to his ipod play music through headphones. He taps his foot, snaps his fingers, and juts his chin with the beat of the music.

Expansion--Texas Women's University

Last fall, 3 students at Texas Women's University (TWU) in Denton showed up at our weekly Bible study at UNT (also in Denton). Having heard of Cru from friends at other universities, they were eager to start a movement at their campus in order to reach out to their peers. They committed to come to our leadership training for the first semester. Fall Retreat and Winter Conference (pictured above on "fun day") gave them a bigger picture of Cru's mission to see the Great Commission fulfilled around the world. People ask us how we can possibly minister to a scope of 280,000 college students in Dallas. The answer is: Students like these. They have the heart, faithfulness, vision, training, and they are willing to sacrifice their time to really own a ministry at their campus. The 2 Timothy 2:2 principle: "Therefore what you've heard me say in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to faithful men who will also in turn be able to teach others."
