Loving God with your Mind

Do you ever have those days or weeks where there is so much in your head that is not cohesive that you have a hard time forming a sentence? Yeah, me too. Like right now, me too.  I have really slimmed the things down in my life, but sometimes life has extras that you have … Continue reading

the number one rule of disciple-making

Do not try to lead in what you do not practice. If you want people to grow in relationship with the Lord and be changed. You must be in relationship with the Lord and be changed. Abide in Him for apart from Him you can do nothing.

Those who endure…The true test of you
