I have a different article posted today on the BTJ website on the topic of unity.

I have no words…. Please pray

We lack power in the Western Church today because many of us still struggle with believing God loves and accepts us. We fear retribution for failure and making mistakes. We cannot operate in power in authority when we fear mistakes. Why? Because no one has trained us in spiritual warfare, the only way to learn is to begin trying.

To become warriors for God's Kingdom, we must have a deep enough trust in God's grace to know that He will catch us when we fall. Only then will we have the courage to try and fail until we succeed.

My earthly father was gracious with my mistakes, which gave me the courage to try new things. Our Heavenly Father is much more generous than my earthly Dad.

Let's go do try things. Make mistakes and learn from them.

No more bleacher critics. We need missionaries and pioneers.

Heal the sick
Raise the dead
Cast out demons
As you go, proclaim that the Kindom of God is here

Are you approachable...do you have a listening ear?

Then his servants came near and spoke to him and said, “My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?” So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child and he was clean.

Mar 10:42-45 ISV 42 Jesus called his disciples and told them, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers among the unbelievers lord it over them, and their superiors act like tyrants over them. 43 That’s not the way it should be among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to everyone, 45 because even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many people.” #LeadershipLessons

I find myself in the strange position of recommending yet another Christian movie which is SO not something I often do.

A couple years ago, they turned The Case for Christ into a movie. I watched it last night, expecting little, but was totally proved wrong. They did a great job with it. Recommend the watch!

A woman was once asked what she gained from praying. She replied…
“Prayer isn’t about what I gain, it’s about what I lose. In prayer I lose my pride, arrogance, greed, desire for sin, impatience, despair and discouragement. Prayer allows me to lose the things that get in the way of drawing closer to Him”
