Hypocrisy and false profession are alive and well. No greater way do we see it than when a man makes a profession to love God when he likewise professes to hate his brother. This cannot be love, but instead lies intended to manipulate and get ones way. For if you cannot love those whom you […]
When I look back at my life, there are periods of time that remind me of the movie The Matrix. I was lost in a world that seemed so real. I was focused on my career, ‘feeding myself’, and carrying out my dreams. Meanwhile there were sheep to be shepherded and disciples to be made […]
I’m convinced that a good portion of the body of Christ lives as I once did: semi-disconnected from my purpose.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to forget God? That may sound strange but it’s so true. We have a million different “shepherds” we can let lead us. Everything from TV, social media, movies, music, work, and friends. We can get lost for hours binge watching or playing games. Generally speaking video games, […]
What’s the secret to great relationships? Having one mind according to Christ. Yes we could all benefit from boosting our communication skills, but in the end having a shared Mission will withstand any challenges that we face.
