With One Mind

I had the incredible opportunity to attend 

a ladies meeting in Greece last week. 

Yes, I said Greece. 

This was the first time I have flown without 

Mark or the kids to a different country since we were married!

The week was centered on Philippians 1:27:

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the Gospel of Christ, 

so that whether I come and see you or am absent, 

I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, 

WITH ONE MIND striving side by side for the faith of the Gospel....

Worshiping with a Greek body of believers.

The Acropolis

The Parthenon

Below is Mars Hill in the Areopagus...Paul preached here in Acts 17. 

Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious....

what therefore you worship as unknown, 

this I proclaim to you...The God who made the world 

and everything in it, 

being Lord of heaven and earth, 

does not live in temples made by man....

He commands all people everywhere 

to repent because He has fixed a day 

on which He will judge the world 

in righteousness by a man whom 

He has appointed; and of this 

He has given assurance to all by raising Him from the dead. 

 The one with my face in it is Corinth. 

Yes, Corinth! Visiting these places 

made the New Testament come alive in so many ways. 

I am so thankful to God for Jesus, 

the Word of God, 

for how the New Testament churches began in these places, 

and how God is still reaching people's hearts 

with the good News of Jesus Christ!

What a once in a lifetime opportunity. 

I am so grateful!
