Mud Management

"When you look at people, what do you see? I am convinced that people intuitvely pick up on our attitude toward them. What's in our hearts toward people will be felt by them. Do we have good will toward all people? Are we for people or really against some of them? Do we truly believe they have immense value and worth to God? Or are we secretly disgusted, bothered, shocked, judgemental, wanting to "fix them" quickly? I've come to believe that many Christians repel those who don't follow Christ because we don't share God's heart for them. Why? Some of us may have come to faith in Christ under a Gospel of Mud-Management rather than a Gospel of restorative Grace"

This is an excerpt from John Burke's new book "Mud and the Masterpiece." Over the next week, I am going to be sharing little excerpts of the book. Why? I believe this book could possibly change your life! You will definetly be asking yourself the same question I did after reading this one small excerpt, How do I really look at people? We are all God's creation. God desires a relationship with every single person he created.  Am I helping to facilitate that or am I hindering people from seeing who God really is and how much He loves them.

The book comes out February 1st and I encourage to buy it. All of the proceeds go to "Life giving Life," a campaign that John Burke has started in Austin, Tx. If you want to know more about "Life giving Life" check out Gateway church in Austin, Texas.

Please pray for us as we seek God and that ReMerge will be known for being able to see poeple as God sees them. That we will spread the Gospel of Restorative Grace and not Mud Management.
