THE RULE OF THREE
By Alice H. Murray

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” Matthew 28:19 (NIV)

My heart dropped at the news. A US fighter jet had been shot down in Iran, forcing its two crew members to eject. Thankfully, American forces quickly rescued the pilot, but the second crew member remained missing. That officer was now fleeing for his life as enemy forces hunted him.

Fascinated, I researched how this airman knew what to do. Surely, he grasped his aviation job, but what happened when his boots hit the ground in enemy territory? My findings revealed all military branches provide SERE (Search, Evade, Resist, Escape) training to active-duty members at high risk of capture. During this training, they learn the Rule of Threes—humans can survive three minutes without air, three days without water, and three weeks without food.

Three is an important number for a Christian’s life too. Instead of food, water, and air, however, believers need the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three, listed in Matthew 28:19, offer faith life’s basic necessities. Father God gives us His Word, which is spiritual food. His Son Jesus is the Water of Life, quenching our thirst for eternal life when we accept Him as our Savior. Finally, the Holy Spirit moves like air, sustaining and guiding.

Military members must train in advance how to survive if stranded behind enemy lines. Humans, caught in a world pervaded by God’s enemy, are offered the opportunity to live forever. God sent His only Son to show man the Father, to make a way for him to enjoy eternal life, and to promise an advocate, the Holy Spirit, to assist him.

Humans need not struggle to find what’s required to survive eternally. Thanks to the spiritual Rule of Three, the Trinity, we can not only live but thrive with God forever.

A single seed can change a story.

In the community of El Carito, Córdoba, the "Seed Sowers" (*Sembradoras de Semillas*) workshop—part of the *Dynamic Women in Missions* program—continues to inspire women to discover that sharing the Gospel doesn't require a stage, but rather a willing heart.
A conversation over a cup of coffee, a chance encounter while buying bread, a visit to a neighbor, or a testimony shared in just 15 seconds can mark the beginning of a life transformed by Jesus.
Each day brings new opportunities to sow hope, and every new relationship can open the door to sharing the love of Christ in a natural, personal, and authentic way.

We celebrate every woman who has chosen to answer the call to be a light in her community, demonstrating that God uses the ordinary to accomplish extraordinary things.

🌱 Where there is a woman willing to sow, there will always be hope for a new story.

NOW WHAT?
By Alice H. Murray

“Desire God’s pure word as newborn babies desire milk. Then you will grow in your salvation.” 2 Peter 2:2 (GW)

About 24 hours after arriving at the hospital, I delivered my first child, a little girl. Whew! The ordeal of labor was behind me. Sighing in relief, I cradled the newborn handed to me. But a scary thought then entered my mind, “Now what?”

I had the knowledge to care for an infant. My preparation to be a first-time mom included reading baby care guides. With a postgraduate degree, surely I could handle providing a newborn’s needs. But responsibility for the health and well-being of a small human totally dependent on me felt overwhelming.

Although delivery was behind me, the task of raising a baby stretched before me. I was merely poised at the starting gate of parenting facing a daunting road ahead. What if I made mistakes? Thankfully, my daughter, now an adult, survived my parenting errors and thrived. But lots of my time and effort went into her becoming the wonderful person she is today.

Christians may view salvation, or birth into eternal life, like the delivery of a baby. The ordeal of acknowledging and confessing sin is over. But the truth is that life as a Christian is just beginning at that point. Much growth and learning must occur.

In 2 Peter 2:2, the apostle Peter indicates believers start off as baby Christians. They need parental nurturing just as an actual infant does. Father God serves as the best parent ever. He offers His Word to new believers as the sustenance enabling spiritual growth.

The “Now what?” after a Christian’s salvation is spiritual growth. Human babies require their moms and milk for physical growth. Baby Christians, however, need their Heavenly Father and His Word for their faith to grow.

GUIDED BY THE LIGHT
By Alice H. Murray

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 (NIV)

The evening praise and worship time at the Christian writers’ conference included the voices of creatives in the chapel singing to their Creator. Most attendees knew the words to the selections sung, but lyrics were displayed on a lighted screen down front just in case.

An unexpected sight distracted me as I sang. A large moth fluttered around the light fixture hanging next to the screen. The winged insect remained by the bright light in the dim chapel for some time.

Fascinated by this behavior, I researched moths after returning home. I learned they navigate by flying on a fixed-angle path in relation to heavenly objects such as the moon and stars. Further, in a process called phototaxis, these insects also move towards artificial light. This light source aids them in navigation and helps moths correct their flight path as they move closer to the light.

I’ve never considered moths the brightest bulbs, but their behavior with lights is brilliant. They recognize, probably instinctively, that light provides navigational aid and course correction. And the closer moths get to the light, the better the assistance.

What could focus on the Light afford humans? In John 8:12 Jesus stated He was “the light of the world” and that those who follow Him will not walk in darkness. Our sin-filled world is a dark place. Do Christians want to go bumbling about in the darkness? Why should we when we have Jesus to show us the way? Getting close to that Light allows us to correct our path to head the right direction.

I want my brain to operate like a moth’s, looking for the Light. That light won’t blind me, but it will lovingly guide me in the right direction.

🔄 A BIG LITTLE DEAL 🔄
By Alice H. Murray

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” Luke 16:10 (NIV)

The car turning into our neighborhood drove straight towards my vehicle. A head-on collision would have occurred if that driver hadn’t braked. Sheepishly, I passed the car, realizing I was in the wrong by going the wrong way.

Sadly, this situation occurred not because of my mistake but my error in judgment. I had deliberately chosen to ignore the directions telling me to enter the small roundabout. I drove the wrong way to avoid the bother of taking the slightly longer route to leave my neighborhood.

No big deal, I thought, when I opted to ignore the traffic directive. No cars were around, and I was in a hurry. What difference would it make under these circumstances to take the quicker way? But my choice could have led to a serious accident. As my almost accident showed, obeying the designated traffic flow was a big deal, and for good reason.

Humans are tempted to take figurative shortcuts in life. We justify such chosen actions as no big deal given the situation. Two things are wrong with those choices. First, we’re intentionally choosing to disregard authority, whether that authority be God or man. Second, as Jesus noted in Luke 16:10, dishonesty with little leads people to being dishonest with much.

Although in my car, I was really on a slippery slope. Once I discounted my wrong driving actions when the stakes were little, I set myself up to continue the pattern when more was at stake. To God, honesty is honesty and is required whether the stakes are big or little. Being honest when the stakes are small is a big little deal to Him.

WHY DIDN'T THEY TELL US? 😦
By Alice H. Murray

“He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family... Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’” Luke 16:27-28 (NIV)

Entering the base exchange building, I found Starbucks closed. What? At 9:45 am, people should be standing in line for their morning caffeine fix.

My bookselling table sat in front of Starbucks, a prime location when open. A vendor nearby informed me a pipe had burst requiring the water to be shut off. Starbucks couldn’t operate without running water and was thus shuttered. Around my selling area big signs announced Starbucks’ closure, and I heard a base exchange employee tell a shopper the closure had been posted on the internet.

Despite these clear public messages, potential customers arrived and gazed around in confusion. Many asked what was going on and were told about the plumbing issue. They groaned at the torture of been unable to have coffee. Their response? “It would’ve been nice if they’d told us so we didn’t come all the way here for nothing.”

This situation reminded me of Jesus’ parable in Luke 16 about The Rich Man and Lazarus. Tormented in Hades, the rich man begged God to send someone to warn his brothers so they could avoid ending up where he did. God responded by pointing out the brothers had Moses and the Prophets, the Hebrew Scriptures, to warn them. The information required was already available to them like the internet postings and signs about the Starbucks’ closure at the base exchange.

But a personal explanation of how to avoid ending up in torment is likely to be more effective than general notices. That’s why God sent Jesus to Earth in the flesh and why Jesus told His disciples to go into all the world. Thus, to spur myself to share the Good News more often, I think how I’d feel if lost people asked me why I didn’t tell them about Jesus.

JUST A LITTLE CLOSER
By Alice H. Murray

“Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers.” Proverbs 4:14 (NIV)

A blasting siren shattered our neighborhood’s peacefulness. My sister and I ran into the front yard to see what was happening. Smoke billowed from a house at the end of the street where the fire truck had parked. Curious, we strained to see what was going on from our distant vantage point.

Dad followed us outside. He quickly recognized what my sister and I were thinking. We wanted to walk down the street closer to the fire scene. He told us in no uncertain terms not to leave the yard. Then, Dad went back inside.

My sister and I grew increasingly impatient as activity increased down the street. Would it hurt to go into the yard next door to get a better view? We were just moving a little closer, not going all the way to the fire scene. This logic prevailed until we’d moved about four houses from home. Then, Dad appeared. He sent us home to be punished.

Dangerous things attract believers just as the fire scene drew my sister and me to disobey Dad. Father God tells us what we shouldn’t do, but we often think stepping over that line will be okay. We don’t intend to go all the way to the fire—just a little bit closer. Nevertheless, that behavior puts us on the path of sin.

The biblical advice offered is the opposite of a Nike ad. Just don’t do it. Proverbs 4:14 says not to put your foot on the path at all. A first step leads to another step to get a little closer. Repeated steps eventually put us at a spiritual fire scene. But if we don’t set foot on that path to begin with, we avoid disaster entirely.
