Earlier this week, while speaking at the Assemblies of God Convention in Florida, Ken and I met with several missionaries from Africa (AG Africa Cares is using our Beyond Suffering curriculum to train their African leadership). One missionary, Greg Beggs, from Nairobi, was wearing the oddest polo shirt — the logo read “Live Dead.” How strange! But when Ken asked Greg about it, he quoted Jesus’ words from John 12:24, “I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives.” Greg explained that we Christians are called to ‘die to self’ each day, for it is only through losing our lives for the sake of Christ that God increases His kingdom. What wise words – and so, today may you and I put to death all selfish wants and wishes, trusting that through our sacrifice of praise, God will raise up a plentiful harvest! Live Dead!
