For about three decades Bernard Meltzer (1916-1998) hosted a radio call-in-for-advice show called What’s Your Problem? He said, “You can make more friends in two months by becoming really interested in other people, than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.” I have no idea whether or not he knew Jesus; nevertheless I believe Jesus would have nodded His head in agreement with Meltzer. Jesus was the ultimate example of “It’s not all about me,” and He instructs us to have the same attitude. God wants us to have an attitude like Jesus, “who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men (Phil. 2:6-7 NASB). The glorious irony of Jesus’ it’s-not-all-about-me attitude is -- it became all about Him (2:9-11). |

Casting a Vote for Change |

I haven’t been smiling very much while watching the presidential campaigns on television, but I smiled last week when I watched a humorous montage of several presidential candidates promising change. Of course it’s impossible to imagine building a political campaign on keeping things the same. Even President Bush said last week that if he was running for office now that he would say, “Vote for me, I’m – I’m gonna be an agent of change.” (NBC, MSNBC, Jan. 11, 2008). Change can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the current situation, and the same is true for the urgency or lack of urgency for change. Sitting on the beach in Hawaii doesn’t immediately conjure up much of a need for change in my mind, unless, of course, a typhoon is on the horizon. |

Dear Friends,
For several days we have been asked to stay mostly at home due to the elections and associated violence. This morning we did go out to our church and spent much of the service in group prayer. Election results are now declared and there is much violence as it is feared the results were rigged. We are in cell phone contact throughout the city with others and much of the city is dark except for the fires (arson) raging in some slums. One of those slums is Kibera, near our church, where many of our students and friends live. Some have taken refuge in an Assembly of God church. Pray for protection for God's people and for calm to be restored in the cities. |
