Refresh Our World
Paul makes the audacious claim that we are ambassadors for Christ. Our job is to go to those places and people where God’s love and grace are most needed and to re-present Christ in the world. Of course, refreshing the world begins at home. Our homes are not our castles, but rather God’s embassy. Just as Philemon is asked to prepare a place for Paul, so we begin by making our home a place of refreshment, oasis, renewal and encouragement.
