Learning from Forests

What do you want to rdavid_thornes_spider_8581ead? As many of you know I am about to be back from the Philippines after nearly a month stay. I have many things I could write about from this trip, but I am not sure what people are interested in. With that aim I want to hear from you! What do you want to read. Let me know in the comments. The topics are as follows.

  • My marriage by faith -­ my unusual experience with ubf’s most infamous sacrament
  • Missionary empathy­ – how living in another country gave me a new perspective of the missionaries in my chapter
  • Filipino cults amidst a devoted people – how bad theology infects a pious people
  • An unedited message­ – My sermon on 2 Corinthians 7:8­-10. See what the Holy Spirit led me to write
  • The harvest is plentiful – a report of the Christmas services in the Philippines.
  • What does it mean to be American? – how I learned about my identity as an American among my brothers and sisters in Christ

Let me know which ones you especially like in the comments. I plan on getting to all of them eventually.

  2. Forests,

    I would love to hear all of these, but my first votes would be for:

    1. “My marriage by faith”
    2. “An unedited message”

    I think it is sacrilege to call MbF a sacrament, but still would like to hear your story.

      Sorry if I appear sacrilegious. It was intended to be sarcastic, but perhaps that is misplaced.

    • I was hoping it was sarcasm! Looks like you had a wonderful trip from the pictures on Facebook. Welcome back!

  3. Filipino Cults. I have a lot of family in Philippines who are a part of “alleged cults” (according to my mom). I want to learn more about them.
