So Excited I Might Break A Rib Just Thinking About It


Dear Friends, (From our Friends of Truefaced e-mail sent out today)

For the first time in 17 years we are about to write a Truefaced book without three authors. Bill and Bruce think the time is right for John Lynch to write the book he has been dreaming of for years. Much like C.S. Lewis gave us the indelible image of the Land of Narnia, John desires to express the fullness of what a life in grace looks like through the difficulties of life. On My Worst Day will be rich, funny, thought-provoking and a wonderful companion to The Cure.

Have you always wanted a signed baseball from a mediocre former college baseball player (John Lynch) or the official "book inspiration" tea of one of your favorite authors? Probably not, but you can get these and many other great thank you gifts as you make On My Worst Day possible. Below is a link to our fundly site where you can support the dream and learn more about the book.

If you can imagine Jesus taking the "s" (shame) out of our Curse, you can imagine The Cure.

It's a New Day!

I'm blessed to have several friends who know and live the life of Union with Christ, and I know a few who express that ultimate truth very well. I've never heard (or read) anyone who expresses these truths more eloquently than our friend John Lynch. I am also blessed to be friends with a few who are just discovering, mulling over and chewing on the meat (not pablum) of what the real gospel is, and how it includes a daily taking up of the cross of Christ to stand against the negative appearances and remain convicted that even here on my worst day, I am Christ in me, not by any effort of my own, but by His word. That conviction frees me to not worry about my "self" and allows me to be concerned for others. I'll be in line early to buy John's book, so I can share it with my friends. .

John, I'm so looking forward to this work our gracious God has placed in you. Read this from our recent newsletter; Last month we shared with you that we began a small group study in our home with high school and college students, going through The Cure. Below please see a quote from our friend Sarah, that expresses what God is revealing to her and what she is experiencing.

“I heard the good news this summer. I found out that not only does my God love me despite my sin, but that by believing in Him, He has made me holy. I have died to sin and am no longer a slave to it. I now am a new creation. God loves me and delights in me always. Even on my hardest day when it seems like all I do is mess up, God has still made me holy. Not only that, but solely by believing in Him he has done this. There is nothing I can do to make Him love me more, or to make myself more holy. It is only by faith alone. My actions, good or bad, don’t define who I am, Christ does.”
-Sarah

'The Cure' is the most loving Christian book I've ever read. I blew it with God many, many years ago and don't believe in my heart that I can be saved, but this book did more t help me hope than anything I've ever read. If only I'd read it sooner...if only...

My life is daily struggle of fear and terror over the coming Kingdom of God. I would so love to 'make thigs up with Him' even at this very late stage, butbI honestly believe that I am the one man on the planet for whom all grace and loving patience has been exhausted. I am 57 years old, and have known little but fear and dread from as far back as I can remember - and I can vividly remember being in my pram as a tiny infant - right through to the time when all my terrible fears about Jesus began when I was supposedly 'saved'...

It would be so kind if someone could maybe write to me to at least acknowledge this message and to hear from me that I wish you well and envy you - all of you - in your lovely friendship with Jesus,,,,,

If only things had worked out differently for me...If only...

Neil: I wanted to coiaolndste all my stuff on my own server. Blogger doesn't let you set up static pages; WordPress does, and I've taken advantage of them. That was the biggest reason. Also: more reliable statistics; coolness factor (having a Blogger blog in 2009 is about as hip as having an AOL e-mail address); more flexibility if I want to make changes; and more information on commenters (a lot more!).Finally, I've been using WordPress.com for class blogs, our church website, and our Boy Scout troop website, and had really gotten to like it. I'd have used that except that WP.com bans advertising. So I'm using WordPress.org on my own server instead.
