                    DISCIPLESHIP IS INTENTIONAL MAINTENANCE
Discipleship requires maintenance, which you find true in so many areas of life. 
Seventeen years ago we bought our present car. At the time I was working with the Rev. John Bomar on the American Family Asso. Committee. He noticed I had a new Volvo. They

                    Six months after I bought my first car, the "service engine" light came on. I called my dad from college, "What does that service engine light mean? Can I still drive it, or do I need to fix something?"  He chuckled and said, it was an idiot light, "It is set to trigger

                    I have one main point if you get it you will get it all.  Your soul needs maintenance.  Let me say it another way.  Your walk with God needs maintenance.  We now have cars that boast you don’t need a tune up for 100,00 miles.  But if you do no maintenance at all it won’t make 20,000 miles.  Things

                    DEACONS AND LIGHTS
In our church, we have someone that does the maintenance and replaces light bulbs and things like that. They do not want their pastor to do this for two good reasons: 
1) I know very little about maintenance, and my church knows that I know very little. 
2) They don't want the
