I had a conversation with a member of our church who was most distressed with a verse from 1 John 3:8-9. She read it from the King James Version of the Bible, which (on the surface) reads differently from more modern translations. While this difference is easily explained, it leads to further conversations about how we as evangelicals often misunderstand and even misinform about the nature of the Christian life. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bareforests/support

Better to deprive yourself from lustful intent than to destine oneself for hell. In the previous paragraph, Jesus warned His listeners to avoid selfish anger in one's heart that could lead to harming another imagebearer because this affects not only love of neighbor but also one's worship of God. The solution was to reconcile oneself with the one with whom they are angry, even if that meant pausing one worship to do so. In this paragraph, Jesus warned His listeners to avoid selfish lust in one's heart that could lead to objectifying another imagebearer because this demonstrates not only a false love but a lack of love for neighbor and for the one who created them. The solution is to take drastic measures to remove that lustful intent from one's heart. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bemakexsend/support

Welcome to the #BeMakeXSend podcast. My name is Matthew Perry, Lead Pastor at Arapahoe Road Baptist Church in Centennial, CO. Today, we sit and talk with Mat and Amy Kountz. Mat and Amy are currently serving in Cuenca Ecuador through Reaching and Teaching Ministries, with their children - William, Lina, Jude, and Oliver. Mat completed an MA in Missiology at Southern Seminary and an MA in Church Planting at Southeastern Seminary and is doing Doctoral Studies at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Missions and Theology. The Kountzes intend to train and mobilize Ecuadorian pastors and missionaries to reach their own neighboring communities as well as peoples beyond the borders of Ecuador. The way they work towards this goal is church planting, partnering with church-planters and local church leaders, and training leaders in formal and informal manners including the founding of a formal Bible School in the major university city of Cuenca. We will talk about discipleship in their context and ways that local churches that engage in international short term missions can best help and serve the Christians with which they partner.
