Some ways in which doing the right thing can be the wrong thing: *Bailing a loved one out of a dilemma--avoid facing consequences ...read more

     | 278 views

    Jesus didn’t say, “Attend Me.” He said, “Follow Me.” He didn’t say, “Build Me a monument.” He said, “Make disciples.” Missional living is the natural result of authentic faith. It’s what happens when the Church stops simply doing religion and starts living out the mission of Christ.

    Speaking to the multitude who received the bread and fish multiplied in the wilderness, Jesus declared himself the Bread of Life. They looked for another meal, but He wanted them to see Him as the Christ, the one who satisfies the hungry soul.

You have to search and search to find him. Sometimes it is easy and it jumps right out at you but usually it is not. The ...read more
