    When Jesus calls us it is not a request, but a command. His universal authority over us is not optional, but the blessing of being in the kingdom is.

    Open by reading chapter one. (Or, if you are willing, memorize it and present it as if you are Mark telling about Jesus to the church. This is very effective. If you are not confident in your memory, use notes, but let me encourage you to tell the church what you are attempting and try ...read more

    Our greatest and our only hope to make a long-lasting difference for God is to learn how to pray. Prayer is not optional; it is essential.

It seems that one of the most apparent areas of poor performance in the Christian life is the area of ...read more

    The heart of spirituality. Thinking outside the walls of the church. Core concerns of God. Ministry. Two options: "pass by" or "go and do."

    GO AND DO LIKEWISE Luke 10:25-37 We live in a world of visual images and sound bites.

    We have been talking the past several weeks about places in our lives where chaos might be found. If we are honest, we all have a degree of chaos in our life. Some more than others, and to be honest some whose life is totally chaotic. So far, we have looked in two areas of our life where we might ...read more
