Moved With Compassion

The second story in the Chosen to Serve series brings Jimmy Westbrook to be the keynote speaker at a seminary's week-long yearly conference. Jimmy gives five daily speeches during the week and shares services he has rendered in the Lord's name to those he has been sent to serve. The story focuses on the why behind so much of the Lord's service to each of us. Seeing our condition first-hand and in the flesh – how we are like sheep without a shepherd – our Lord was moved with compassion. Jimmy shares with the students of the seminary how the Lord is still moved with His compassion and still responding in miraculous love, by sharing four stories of how the Lord has used him to serve others. In such a setting, where all present consider themselves to be authorities on God, Jimmy's message is not one of scholarship, but rather personal experience. The focus is not on God's miracles, but the WHY of those miracles. Jimmy's sharing of his own ministry in a typically conservative seminary is controversial and unsettling. Bible principles are delivered with a remarkable application to daily life. The resulting story is an engrossing journey of how the Lord works in our lives.
