Live.Awake: Marketplace Ministry - Chuck Ripka’s Story

Wow...what an awesome story.
Ben, it's exactly as we concluded...it's our obedience that matters and that's the bottom line.
I was talking with a friend last Saturday right before we went out to do some ministry and we were talking about methods of evangelism and how you measure success.
It's not in how many souls you save, just look at Noah. It's not in how articulate you are. Read 1 Corinthians. It's not how loud or quite you are.
The only possible way to measure success in the Kingdom of God is obedience. Are you doing what He is telling you to do? Which does have a prerequisite...are putting yourself in a position to listen to Him?
Chuck seems as if he's doing this not out of method or strategy, but simply out of the instructions he received while in the presence of the Lord.
And that's what it all boils down too...nothing matters except our ability to be in His presence.
Great mp3, thanks Ben! I'm glad I finally listened to it! Paul

Yep, Chuck Ripka would certainly agree with your favorite mantra: "Every Christian is a Missionary."
