Expecting Nothing in Return

This Saturday I had the blessing of joining six other men in an adventure in outreach and repair. We went to Crossroads for Youth, a special school and training camp in Oxford, and tiled their cafeteria. I brought zero talent or wisdom to this project. I was simply blessed to join these skilled men in their selfless embodiment of the love of Christ. They gave up their Satruday to go and do something for the struggling kids at Crossroads. And they gave up their time, expecting nothing in return.



It is a gift to work with people like that, to see the life of God enfleshed on earth again, to see the church faithfully living as the Second Incarnation. There is something to orthodoxy, right doctrine. There is something to orthodpraxy, right practice. But there is something more to seeing the chasm between praxis and doctrine bridged in lives that faithfully embody orthodoxy in the way they live in the world.

God bless these servants, and bless the kids at Crossroads...
