    Writing Retreat Starts

    Posted on Tuesday 29 May 2007 by Greg @ 5:35 am
    Filed under: Rants

    Today my writing retreat strarts. After I drop off my two little lovely happy hyper kids I take the hour and a half drive to Breckenridge, find the in-town Starbucks (surprise, surprise) and start typing away.

    I have several things I need to pound out on my keyboard and two book ideas I’m working on. One is a novel and the other is kind of a handbook for revolution kind-of-thing. It’s going to be my first "general market" book for Christians that is focused primarily on adults.

    Why adults?

    Because I’m more and more convinced that one of the biggest reasons we don’t see more teenagers sharing Jesus is that they have very few adults modeling a faith-sharing revolutionary lifestyle. This book’s mission will be to change that.

    I covet your prayers always, but especially this week.

    Signed, Greg Stier

      • Most churches don’t train adults to evangelize.  That needs to change…  I believe most of us adults want to, but don’t know how to… I pray that your book mobilizes an army of evangelizing adults.  Thanks for your ministry, you’ve helped train me to evangelize.

      • Wow, I’m so looking forward to that book. Adults are so quick to condemn the spiritual void in students’ lives when really I think they’re just reflecting what they’ve seen modeled for them at home and even at church. The only difference between students and adults is that adults are better actors.

      • God’s really using you Greg, I mean that from the heart. You are such an inspiration and God shines through you more and more. I bet right now he is looking from heaven in happiness because of your faithful serving. He has helped you to work through my life, many teenagers’ lives, and now MANY of adults’ lives. There will come a day when all will see and believe the glory of God. Here is a song sang by Nichole Nordeman and Selah that sums it all up. I will put the lyrics below. Keep serving the Lord, He loves you! You’re in my prayers.                                     In His Strong Grip, Julie E. Glory: By Selah and Nichole Nordeman One day eyes that are blind will see you clearly And one day all who deny will finally believe One day hearts made of stone will break in pieces And one day chains once unbroken will fall down at your feet So we wait for that one day come quickly Chorus We want to see your Glory Every knee falls down before thee Every tongue offers you praise With every hand raised Singing Glory To you and unto you only We’ll sing Glory to Your name One day voices that lie will all be silenced One day all that’s divided will be whole again One day death will retreat and wave it’s white flag One day love will defeat the strongest enemy So we wait for that one day come quickly Chorus We know not the day or the hour Or the moments in between But we know the end of the story When we’ll see

      • By adults, do you include those in their early twenties (like me).  I’m too young for youth groups, but I’m definately too young to relate to someone twice my age either. I guess it’s just to late for me. BTW-"Do you mean to tell me" that all I have to do is put my faith in and surrender to Jesus Christ and I’ll be saved! You’ve got to be kidding! What am I evendoing here?

      • Hey Greg, I love that Starbucks in Breckenridge. I read most of The Fellowship of the Rings there while other youth pastors were skiing. I am praying that you had a fruitful time and that your youngins didn’t drive Debbie too scary.  His servant,  Brian
