God called Moses back to Egypt through a burning bush. All of us stand before some form of burning bush and receive our call. And when that call comes, we can either make excuses and stay where we are… or head for our Egypt and do what God sent us there to do. And our “Egypt” might be just across the street. Moses knew that he couldn’t stay where he was and still say he loved God. Neither can we! -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom

Many Christians today want to drink from the cup of salvation, but they balk at lifting it up to others. The American church is top heavy with those who’ve read all the latest books and attended all the best bible conferences with all the coolest contemporary personalities.... but who have never led another person to Jesus. We gorge ourselves on knowledge in a world starving for the gospel. We pay highly trained professional clergy to enlighten us, edify us, feed us, and entertain us.... but they are often reluctant to speak of repentance, conversion, sacrifice, or the cost of discipleship for fear of losing us. Lord, have mercy! -- Friar Tuck’s Occasional Wisdom
