What do beautiful feet have to do with unconditional love?

Well, I'm so glad you asked...

I created this blog as a way to document my journey to fulfill Christ's mission. I believed that the Lord has called and commanded me to take His Name to the lost and to make disciples of all nations. 

In seeking out the Lord's will, He has placed two specific words on my heart: aletheia and agape. These words may not look familiar to you, and that is because they come from the Greek language. Aletheia, or ἀλήθεια, means truth, or more literally, the state of being evident. Agape, or ἀγάπη, means love, more specifically, unconditional love. 

The first word, aletheia, led me to the scripture in Isaiah 52:7 that says, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good news of happiness, who proclaim salvation, and who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"" 

The second word, agape, led me to the scripture in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 that says, "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails."

The Good News that is spoken of in Isaiah is the Good News of the Gospel of Christ. It is the Good News that the One and Only God sent His One and Only Son to Earth as fully man and fully God, born of a virgin, to walk with mankind on Earth, endure the same trials and temptations as mankind on Earth, yet remain completely blameless and sinless in a sinful world. He was made a living and ultimate sacrifice by allowing Himself to be crucified on a cross and dying for the sins of all mankind, even those that hammered the nails through His hands and feet. He died, was buried, and three days later arose from the grave, victorious over death. This ultimate sacrifice made a way for us to be completely forgiven and have an intimate relationship with the Living God.

It is TRUTH and LOVE. It is ἀλήθεια and ἀγάπη in One. It should not be hidden.

I believe that Christ's mission for me is to take His Good News to those that do not know and to do everything I do out of a love that mirrors Christ. 

This blog will allow you to go on this journey with me as I prepare for different trips around the world and continue my ministry in LaGrange, Ga. 

Enjoy the journey...
