We recently interviewed Kathy Branzell from Love2020 and discussed practical ways to get connected in relationship with our neighbors. We need to be intentional because most of us suffer from Summer Faith Drought Syndrome

Recently, we took some time to talk about our neighborhood mission field. Have you ever thought about it that way? How many of you know the four neighbors who live in front, behind, and on both sides of you?

Whether we are aware of it or not, temptation is all around us at work. Be conscious of what thoughts you are thinking, and then speak scripture out loud to combat the wrong thoughts.

Apartments used to be close together with common space on the roof or a courtyard. Today, you can literally come and go in many apartment complexes and never see your neighbor. Churches across this country have regular attenders who live in rental housing but are they living with a missional mindset?

Here's what I so often forget - what has a beginning, often has an end. What is relevant today, may not be relevant two years from now. How is God asking you to bring that fresh Gospel message of freedom to the people you work alongside today? Is it a different approach than what you have done in the past

Martha and I love to see people to read the Bible for themselves. The book of John is a great way for people to get introduced to Jesus and to read for themselves who he really is. So what does all this have to do with Chocolate?

It’s the new year and we just celebrated Christmas. We all give and receive gifts at Christmas, but this year, I got to be part of giving the best gift I have ever given in my life. I hope you take time to read my story about a real-life God sized Miracle.

I loved Christmas as a kid because I loved new toys and clothes. What GIFT are you giving to your local community or favorite organization? Do you have knowledge and wisdom you can share?

Collaboration within the Body of Christ is rare and unfortunate. Collaboration means recognizing your gifts and sharing them for all to benefit.  It also creates synergy and economies of scale, which leads to good Stewardship of God's resources.

At the Holiday's, emotional hurt is amplified and multiplied. Think about the people you know who have lost a child, a parent, a spouse, or a best friend in the last year. The Holiday blues are a thing.
