Mission From God Lucas Miles Talks about The Blues Brothers and The Message of Grace By Stephanie J. Salisbury O ne of the first things that takes me by surprise every time I meet with him is that Lucas Miles is a normal guy. He’s not all pastor-y and dictatorial; he just talks to me like I’m a fellow human being, a child of God, no more and no less than he is. We can talk about The Blues Brothers (perhaps one of the greatest movies of all time) in one breath, and Jesus Christ (most assuredly the greatest man who ever lived) in the next. How refreshing to be able to be myself around a man of God. In the vein of The Blues Brothers, one of Lucas’s common threads throughout our conversation is, “We’re putting the band back together.” When I asked about this, the answer was simple – you see radicals pulling together for their skewed visions and causes all across the globe. It’s time for Christians to band together and start getting the right message out there for the whole world ?????????????????????????????????((?()$??????????????????????????????????1??????)???????????????????????????????????????????)????????????????????????????????????)!???????????????????$????????()M????????M?????????1????$?????()??????????????????????????e??????????????)?????????????????????????()1???5??????%?e??????????????????????()I???????????????????????????????????????)?????????????????????????????Q????????)??e????????????L?????????????????????????????????()ML??'?e??????????ae???????????????????????d()??????????????M??????e???????e??????????)????????)14??'?e?????e??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????$???????????????)???????a????????????d??Q????????????????????)??????????????a??????????????????d????????????'?e?)???????????????????????????????????????)??????????L????????????????????????????)???????????????????????????)?????????????????????????????????((0
