“If you know these things then blessed are you if you do them…” Jn13:17As Master’s Commission alumni the practice of truth is everything. There are the times and seasons in life where truth must be acquired and there are the times and seasons where truth is to be applied. Though the acquiring of truth promises to be adventurous, it is in the application of truth that we are blessed and set free. The Master’s Commission year is an amazing season for the acquiring of truth. Every day is another opportunity to discover and be impacted by the revelation of God’s Word. Day after day the impact of that encounter builds and as a result lives are radically turned upside down. The past years have proven the Master’s Commission “program” is effective. The question however is what do the graduating students do with the truth that so radically changed them during the year? If the truth they received is still practiced they continue in the transformation. However, if the truth they received is heard only and not practiced they set themselves up for delusion, if not deception. This is why the book of James is so strong in its warning that we not be hearers of the Word only.
So this is a call to all of our Master’s Commission Alumni. Continue to practice the truth just as you practiced it during your MC year. Your growth in the MC year was meant to be only a beginning, a foretaste of the lifestyle to come. Blessing is in the doing. Freedom is in the practice. Emergers are doers. Those who do the truth they receive and will be those who are distinguished by the Lord and walk in the favor of the Lord. As a result they will be those who walk happy, blessed, fulfilled because they walk in alignment with the Lord.
Marc and I love you and are blessed by the generation you are rising up to be.
