Eyes Focused Outward
There’s a great new blog that has just launched! My friend in the UK, named Andy White,has assembled an amazing roster of authors to contribute articles, andsomehow I was included. My friend has done me the amazing honor ofinviting me to add to this online conversation about the OutwardFocused Christian life. I haven’t written anything yet, but I can’twait to make my first post.
You can find this new blog at www.eyesturnedoutward.com, or just go to the sidebar on this page and click Outward Focused on the blogroll.
Learning and living the Outward Focused Christian life has been myfocus for the past several months. Ever since being immersed in thistransformational truth, I feel like I’ve finally stepped back from aGeorges Seurat pointillism painting – one of those that is composedentirely of individual dots. From up close, you can see all the dots,but you have to step back to see them come together as a work of art.In my words, the Outward Focused Christian life is about allowingpractical service, love and kindness to break down the barriers betweenyourself and hurting people.
Without even thinking about it, we often have a way of turn people awayand turning people off to the Good News. Being Outward Focused meanslearning more about connecting with people who don’t yet know Jesus. Itmeans opening yourself – being yourself – and finding ways to allow theJesus within you to reach out and touch people. If we make an effort tolove, serve and show kindness to all kinds of people, as often aspossible, I think the Holy Spirit will lead us to the people that He’sbeen wooing to Jesus.
I’m really excited about this new site. It is being written and read bypeople from around the world. This is an amazing opportunity to connectwith the Church worldwide. Just think, your contribution could stretcharound the globe and touch someone on another continent… it’s trulyincredible!
Peace.
