Obey Today-URBANA 2015  “Take the next step—don’t take a huge one, don’t look very far. I have learned the will of God is not hidden. It’s not very far. I have learned to obey him for what he’s telling me to do today. And that becomes a stepping-stone to the next thing, to the next thing and the next thing. “Maybe it’s something small in your campus, to walk with your neighbor, or do a short-term mission, or write an article. Do what you need to do now. But obey today.” These are Gillian Edube’s words of advice for Urbana 15 participants as they head into the final day of the conference. They are words she has lived by since first becoming a Christian as a high school student in Kenya. They are words she still lives by today as one of the founders of Global Link Afrika, an indigenous mission organization based in Uganda. Gillian describes herself as someone who says yes to God. “I don’t say no. It’s very hard for me to say no. I will doubt. I will fear, but I will follo

I was very skeptical about Christianity, especially that I could be born again. I was brought up in a local Anglican church that according to me did not necessarily embrace salvation by then. I was comfortable there because there was no prompting or challenge for me to think about my inner life. In my first high school, I had come close to receiving Jesus through my talents. The Christian group asked me to lead worship as a nonbeliever since I had a great voice (that was risky I guess), so I always led worship and walked out immediately after that. One day the preacher decided he needed us around and that's how the gospel was presented to me and for the first time, I felt something shaken in my inside. Remember I was a known naughty girl so the whole school was eyes on me and surely it was the toughest 2 months I lived as I played all kinds of games.  I moved to a new school and this was a turn around for me as I encountered Jesus, one, as I watched the life of one Nicol

EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY SPIRITUALITY By Peter Scazzero In this book, Peter diagnoses why even intense spirituality and all its activities can still leave someone empty, he reflects on emotional layers of his own life that had not yet been touched by God because he had concealed them from everyone and this resulted into emotional immaturity which nearly cost him everything.

What is Christian Authentic life and how can we experience it today? Peter temps us to answer this question by inviting us to a deeper and wider relationship with Jesus. Christian spirituality without the integration of emotional health can

Henry invites us to search deeply for the well-springs that nourish true ministry by looking to the example of the fifth-century Egyptian desert fathers and mothers. Their experiences teach us to find a place for Solitude, Silence, and prayer.   “The the thesis of this book is the way God’s people find Him through their hearts producing an overflow to every sphere of their lives.” Henry’s major message is to move us beyond what seems forbidding about the three disciplines “Solitude, silence and prayer” by pointing us toward the “the way of the heart”, which then overflows into the way we relate with others and live our contemporary spiritual life. In this book, I found very profound truths about the three disciplines. 1.      Solitude:   We are living in busy days where we don’t find time to rest or ponder over the things we do or even think., and this l
