Ed Ball – OMF in Thailand

I am a student at G2, studying Archaeology at the University of York in my third year. In August of this year, I am heading out with OMF to northern Thailand where I will be undertaking student and youth work with the Lisu and the Shan people. Both of these groups are a tribal, immigrant people who will often be ‘looked down on’ by many native Thai’s, due to the fact they do not originate in the country.

I will for the most part be based in a small centre in the mountainous region of Chiangmai — with a mix of youth ministry English teaching, bible teaching, small groups and practical aid. In the last century James Fraser, a British missionary, lived and evangelised among these peoples in the southern Yunnan province (part of China) – but by no means are these people for the most part Christian.

Real Authority – by Jon Boustead

One verse stuck out to me as i was reading today – the first verse I came to when reminding my self of what I had read yesterday!

“And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine: For He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes” – Matt 7:28-29

What struck me the most with this verse, was the contrast drawn between the teaching of the scribes, and the teachings of Jesus – the difference being that Christ has AUTHORITY! The authority of the Kingdom of Heaven drove every word that came from His lips. And His very character, being the model through which these words were taught….what probably drove the scribes was pride, and intellect – head knowledge. But what Jesus specialised in, was getting to the HEART of the matter.
The scribes would be spurting out scriptures left, right and centre – they were up to their ears in scripture, but Jesus would trump it, because they remained on face value! – Jesus would say “No, you say it’s like this, but I’m telling you, it’s like THIS! Yes, do not murder, BUT if you hate your brother without cause, then you are guilty as charged” Read more here
