Lee Strobel and Mark Mittelberg have written a book called The Unexpected Adventure. In this book they share their experiences of God at work when they have stepped out in faith to give testimony about their own faith journey. The principle that they proclaim is that we should all wake up in the morning expecting God to give us some unexpected adventure in service for him during the day. They proclaim service that is neither driven by duty or striving but rather by joyful expectation that God will work through us for the good of others and his kingdom. It is a good principle but one that too quickly gets lost in the midst of our business and sometimes our political correctness. During Lent of 2010 our congregation studied the book and those who went in depth took the opportunity to attempt to put its principles into practice. Many unexpected adventures emerged from this experience and we all had fun sharing our testimonies. If you are one of those people who got excited about the book then let me ask you if you are still enjoying unexpected adventures? If so, I would love to hear your stories. If not, then maybe its time to remind yourself of the wonderful things God has in store for those who are faithful to him.
If you have haven't yet done so I recommend that you read: "The Unexpected Adventure."
Thanks, can I find a copy in the Church Library?
