Filled Up, Poured Out Table of Contents

-
Below you will find the table of contents for my new book which will be released March 15.  You will notice three parts with Latin titles:  Vacuus means "empty or devoid of".  Repleo means  to replenish, fill up or satisfy",  Fluo means "to flow, pour or stream."
Notice the parallels between the Filled Up and the Poured Out:  Presence, Promise, Peace and Power -- and yet how the outflow differs from the inflow of the same stuff.
Part 1. Vacuus
1. Clouds without Rain: Empty Pastors
2. Broken Cisterns: Empty Churches
3. Catharsis: Empty Out to Fill Up
Part 2. Repleo
4. Immersion: Filled with God’s Presence
5. Faith: Filled with God’s Promise
6. Contentment: Filled with God’s Peace
7. Enduement: Filled with God’s Power
8. Confluence: Prayer Is the Filling Station
Part 3. Fluo
9. Compassion: Pour Out God’s Presence
10. Blessing: Pour Out God’s Promise
11. Righteousness: Pour Out God’s Peace
12. Influence: Pour Out God’s Power
13. Saturation: Go Be the Church

    Wow sounds great. Love the thought of starting from a place of emptiness, then coming to God to get filled, then pouring out God. Steams of living waters.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
