Just Get On The Plane: Top Ten Values For My Boys
http://justgetontheplane.blogspot.com/2013/08/top-ten-values-for-my-boys.html
Just Get On The Plane. Encouraging the Church to Get the Mission Done. Saturday, August 17, 2013. Top Ten Values For My Boys. I recently returned from a four day trip to the Sierra Nevada. This was a planned manhood experience for my boys, 12 and 13 years old. We spent quality time together, did tough things together, and had the types of conversations and fun men can only have when women are not around. Each of us has memorized this definition, and we even quiz one another to keep it fresh in our minds.

Just Get On The Plane. Encouraging the Church to Get the Mission Done. Sunday, July 12, 2015. Pray That Other People’s Prayers Get Answered First. Your friends might pray better prayers than you do. The Praying Prayer Team. One reason I would like to listen is to hear how the Holy Spirit might be leading them to pray for God’s will for my ministry. But, I don’t need to hear their prayers because I will see the results of their prayers soon enough! Every so often I start by praying, “Lord answer the...

Just Get On The Plane: Might We Be Moving Too Slowly For God?

Just Get On The Plane. Encouraging the Church to Get the Mission Done. Tuesday, May 8, 2012. Might We Be Moving Too Slowly For God? It is common to hear Christians say “I don’t want to move ahead of God.” Why this bias for inaction? Why such a cautious, even a timid, approach to life and ministry? The Gospel demands that we keep on making decisions and keep on moving forward, even more so when we are talking about ministry as a church. We are in a much better position to discover God’s will whi...The tim...

Just Get On The Plane: Smear Campaigns Gone Spiritual
http://justgetontheplane.blogspot.com/2013/04/smear-campaigns-gone-spiritual.html
Just Get On The Plane. Encouraging the Church to Get the Mission Done. Sunday, April 28, 2013. Smear Campaigns Gone Spiritual. Smear campaigns happen in churches quite often today. If you have been on the receiving end in a church, whether a leader or not, you know the frustration, heartbreak, and weariness in dealing with the instigators, their lies and your dear friends under their influence. Have you ever been a witness to such a work of the devil and people’s fleshliness in a church? What can you do?

Just Get On The Plane: Married Couples In The Crosshairs
http://justgetontheplane.blogspot.com/2015/07/married-couples-in-crosshairs.html
Just Get On The Plane. Encouraging the Church to Get the Mission Done. Sunday, July 26, 2015. Married Couples In The Crosshairs. Married couples require special attention when serving on short term mission teams. If the husband and wife have ministered together before in a cross-cultural context they will definitely be an asset to the team. But, if they haven't they are most likely in for a surprise. Even those with healthy marriages will be challenged more than they think and need to be prepared. For ex...

Just Get On The Plane: Let Your Teenagers Do Whatever They Want
http://justgetontheplane.blogspot.com/2014/01/let-your-teenagers-do-whatever-they-want.html
Just Get On The Plane. Encouraging the Church to Get the Mission Done. Sunday, January 26, 2014. Let Your Teenagers Do Whatever They Want. About the time our teenagers turn 16 or 17 we have the “yes” talk. This talk is when we let them know that we trust them, and that for whatever they want to do the answer will almost always be “yes” based upon three conditions. 1 They have a growing relationship with Christ. 2 They have an open relationship with their parents. Conversation flows easily. It is more...

Just Get On The Plane: If Prayer Works There, It Must Work Here Too

Just Get On The Plane. Encouraging the Church to Get the Mission Done. Sunday, August 9, 2015. If Prayer Works There, It Must Work Here Too. If you want to change your prayer life go on a mission to a difficult location. Even within one week you will learn to pray in new ways for new things, and see God at work as you have never seen Him before. Different Lives, Different Prayers. We would return home from these mission campaigns having learned that prayer works, that our faith works. Actually, we le...

Just Get On The Plane: Good Guys Always Win
http://justgetontheplane.blogspot.com/2015/08/good-guys-always-win.html
Just Get On The Plane. Encouraging the Church to Get the Mission Done. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Good Guys Always Win. In American folklore the good guys always win. Although this makes for great books and movies, we know that it doesn’t always work out this way in real life. However, often times it does! We must also understand that “seeking for glory and honor and immortality” in the above passage from the book of Romans is not built upon a trust in one’s own “well-doing” an...The seeking for glory, hono...

Just Get On The Plane: Mission-Minded Children
http://justgetontheplane.blogspot.com/2013/06/mission-minded-children.html
Just Get On The Plane. Encouraging the Church to Get the Mission Done. Friday, June 28, 2013. We are blessed by our four young adult daughters who are all thoroughly mission-minded individuals. Recently, I asked them, “If you were to encourage other parents, what were some of the things mom and I did that impacted you most in this area? 8220;The first thing that comes to mind is reading the missionary biographies after dinner, I remember that we would SO look forward to those! We loved hearing stories an...
