In this clip from the Building Excellence podcast with Bailey Miles, Randy shares how his faith grew following his conversion.

Throughout history Christians have understood that in 1 Samuel 15 (and similar passages), God accommodates His language so that we can better understand Him. To say He “regrets” making Saul king is to communicate powerfully that He grieves over sin.

Success is measured differently in the eyes of God. For sure what He values most is not what people call success, but what God Himself calls faithfulness: “Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:2).

If you are working a “secular” job, you are not second class in God’s Kingdom. You are no less called or gifted than a pastor or a missionary. Your ministry is to represent Jesus in your own sphere of influence.

በምዕራቡ ዓለም ባሉ ዘመናዊ ክርስቲያኖች ዘንድ አንድ አስገራሚ ነገር ተከስቷል። ብዙዎቻችን ዘላለማዊነት እንደሌለ—ወይም በዚህ የአሁኑ ሕይወታችን የምናደርገው ነገር ከዘላለም ሕይወት ጋር ምንም ግንኙነት እንደሌለው አድርገን እናስባለን። 

ကျွန်ုပ်သည် ဝတ္ထုရှည် ကိုးအုပ်ကို ရေးသားခဲ့ဖူးပါသည်။ အကယ်၍ သင်သည် ကျွန်ုပ်၏စာအုပ်များထဲမှ ဇာတ်ကောင်များကို လူတွေ့မေးမြန်းခွင့်ရသည်ဟု ဆိုကြပါစို့။ “ခင်ဗျားတို့ ဒီထက် ပိုပြီး ဒုက္ခအနည်းငယ်လေးပဲ ခံစားချင်လား” ဟု သွားမေးပါက၊ ၎င်းတို့အားလုံးက “ဟုတ်ကဲ့၊ အနည်းငယ်ပဲ ခံစားချင်ပါတယ်” ဟု ဖြေကြမည်မှာ သေချာပါသည်။

تصور کنید عضوی از تیمی در ناسا هستید که برای مأموریتی پنج‌ساله به مریخ آماده می‌شود. پس از یک دورۀ آموزشی فشرده، سرانجام روز پرتاب فرا می‌رسد. همان‌طور که موشک از زمین بلند می‌شود، یکی از فضانوردان همراهتان می‌پرسد: «دربارۀ مریخ چه می‌دانی؟»

Immaginate di far parte di un team della NASA che si sta preparando per una missione di cinque anni su Marte. Dopo un lungo periodo di addestramento, arriva finalmente il giorno del lancio. Mentre il razzo decolla, uno dei vostri colleghi astronauti vi chiede: “Che cosa sai di Marte?”
