Following calls for an all consuming yes to Jesus.

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

Sometimes a word will get it done. Other times to that word we must add rolling up our sleeves.

I am growing to believe God sees prayer as learning to speak like God speaks.

Faith is the willful decision of a community of people to live the totality of their existence in the light of God and in the world of God’s making.

Discipleship to Jesus means learning to pray in agreement with Jesus, in union with the mind of Christ.

Jesus raises prayer to the level of participation in the unfolding of the will of God—on earth as it is in heaven.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

James understood that prayer isn’t just a religious routine. It’s our lifeline.

You are who God says you are: loved, chosen, forgiven, held, and made new.

God’s Word isn’t just information to collect. It’s truth meant to shape us.

We don’t build spiritual strength by avoiding every hard thing. It is formed as we walk through difficulty with God, one day at a time.
