John 4:35-36 35Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. Open your eyes, and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest…. They are ripe for the harvest… That’s a crazy thought. Something that kept running through my head this past weekend, has been a vision of me, standing before God. I’m standing there giving an...

  So why is it when it comes to the time to write a blog, my mind goes blank and I cant think of anything to say. But here I am, I have been gone for three weeks now!

We’re only on week two, and I’m only two chapters in, but I decided to take some time to write what I’ve already been convicted about. In the first two chapters alone, the author talks about his experiences in an underground church in Asia.
