Quote of the Week

Our quote this week comes from James Gilmour, a missionary to Mongolia and China in the 19th century.  I love this because, for me, it is so true.  All too often we follow common sense instead of kingdom sense.  We find ourselves pursuing the things this world finds important: comfort, security, financial stability, etc.  How different does this look from what Jesus told his followers to expect in Matthew 10?  This next week, try to view your actions through the lens of kingdom sense instead of common sense. 

"I go out as a missionary not that I may follow the dictates of common sense, but that I may 

obey that command of Christ." James Gilmour
