THE JESUS WAY

Monday, April 07, 2008

Our preacher had to be away yesterday because of the death of a long time friend. I don’t usually like it when some member of the church fills in. But the man who spoke yesterday was great. He is Barry Asmus. Barry was a professor of economics for 15 years and is now the Senior Economist at the National Center for Policy Analysis. Named by USA Today as one of the five most requested speakers in America, Barry speaks to diverse audiences all across the world. He is active with many of the ministries at Scottsdale Bible and his is currently serving as an elder.

He preached on The Jesus Way and talked about a book by the same title written by Eugene Peterson. He said at first he could not get past the first 110 pages. He was so moved by what he read that he had to stop, think and pray. He tried three times before he was able to move on. The church book store sold out of the book after the first service. Barry has asked for them to order more. He wants every member to read this book. I haven’t read it yet—but I will.

The Jesus Way. His way should be my way and your way.
