last week...

our speaker was Fred Allen. He is a professor at George Fox University here in Oregon.
Oh, and to Paul Radford, Fred says hello =]
Anyways here are some of the main points from Fred's lecture. The whole he went through the 6 mission statements of Jesus.
-We can't reduce Jesus to a description
- The cost of following Jesus is everything but the call itself dying.
-We are never willing to give up EVERYTHING. but Jesus didn't beat around the bush. He said we have to give up everything. Yet we always ask God for exceptions, specifics, and to define "everything". Everything means everything.
-discipleship is being bound to the person that is Jesus AND His mission.
-if you're ashamed of the gospel and don't speak, nobody gets saved.
- If YOU don't go tell them about Jesus, they will never hear. if you don't go, then who will?!?!
