I was wondering though...Jaeson, <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing. I was wondering though, it's been on my mind for the longest time actually. That is, the mix between I suppose relational/personal evangelism through things like outreaches, and just spending time with the lost. As well as Power Evangelism. Lately I've been reflecting on Luke 14:25-35 which is essentially the call to deny EVERYTHING take up your cross and follow Him. And I understand that its about Lordship from Day 1. But how to you mix in this truth of calling people to Lordship and obedience which seems radical vs. Relational/ Personal evangelism which seems to take place over time? If you could please drop me a message on my facebook (david pika chiu) or drop me a letter in my email iamdavidchiu@gmail.com. Thanks again!<BR/><BR/>oh yeah one more thing, I thought about this today <BR/><BR/>Talib Kweli and Mos Def is to Blackstar<BR/><BR/>as<BR/><BR/>Jaeson Ma and Mike Whang is to Name sake<BR/><BR/>Maybe you guys could be Yellowstar or better yet "EaStar" ahah get it? like East as in Asian or Easter or also Matthew 2:2 ahah okay sorry.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13307492892533747292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235229.post-21513481762441061392007-10-02T05:36:00.000-07:002007-10-02T05:36:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing.
