Hey\u2013glad you stum\u00adbled across the site.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re wel\u00adcome to poke around here and learn more about Paula and I. Just so you know, this web\u00adsite is a tool we use to keep fam\u00adi\u00adly, friends, and min\u00adistry part\u00adners up-to-date on our lives and min\u00adistry.<\/p>\n
So if you came here want\u00adi\u00adng to learn more about Chi Alpha, check out Chi Alpha @ Stan\u00adford<\/a> or nation\u00adal Chi Alpha<\/a>.<\/p>\n If I\u2019m Freak\u00ading You Out<\/b> Some stu\u00addents are real\u00adly uptight about reli\u00adgion, but most are not<\/a>. Stu\u00addents gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly enjoy hav\u00ading a non-pushy and thought-pro\u00advok\u00ading dis\u00adcus\u00adsion with some\u00adone about inter\u00adest\u00ading things like the mean\u00ading of life, the exis\u00adtence of God, the nature of moral\u00adi\u00adty, and the pow\u00ader of reli\u00adgious belief.<\/p>\n Those are the peo\u00adple I inter\u00adact with. I don\u2019t roam about the cam\u00adpus like a lion seek\u00ading unwit\u00adting stu\u00addents to devour. I talk with peo\u00adple about things they want to talk about.<\/p>\n For the record, Chi Alpha is an orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion in good stand\u00ading with Stan\u00adford Asso\u00adci\u00adat\u00aded Reli\u00adgions<\/a> and is also a reg\u00adis\u00adtered vol\u00adun\u00adtary stu\u00addent orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion<\/a> at Stan\u00adford. That means our pres\u00adence is sanc\u00adtioned by the uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty.<\/p>\n So chill.<\/p>\n If I\u2019m Freak\u00ading You Out Now<\/b> Being pushy and rude isn\u2019t the Bib\u00adli\u00adcal mod\u00adel for evan\u00adge\u00adlism. Don\u2019t believe me?<\/p>\n In oth\u00ader words, I\u2019m not shirk\u00ading back from pro\u00adclaim\u00ading the gospel clear\u00adly, nor am I capit\u00adu\u00adlat\u00ading to some insane cam\u00adpus speech code, nor am I liv\u00ading in fear of the sec\u00adu\u00adlar sta\u00adtus quo. I\u2019m mere\u00adly being wise and bib\u00adli\u00adcal.<\/p>\n Just think about it: I\u2019m an ordained min\u00adis\u00adter and nation\u00adal\u00adly appoint\u00aded mis\u00adsion\u00adary with the Assem\u00adblies of God<\/a>, which the world\u2019s largest Protes\u00adtant denom\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion and which is con\u00adsid\u00adered by many to be the most effec\u00adtive mis\u00adsion\u00adary move\u00adment in the his\u00adto\u00adry of the world (reflect on this: we did\u00adn\u2019t exist 100 years ago and are now one of the largest reli\u00adgious move\u00adments any\u00adwhere). The Assem\u00adblies of God did\u00adn\u2019t send us to reach Stan\u00adford because we\u2019re some kind of cow\u00adard\u00adly wimps. They sent us because they believe we are called, gift\u00aded, and guid\u00aded by God for this task.<\/p>\n So chill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey\u2013glad you stum\u00adbled across the site.
