A Risky Call

Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” – Matthew 16:24-25 There exists a unique study of missions, or missiology, within Christendom.

5 Ps of Mission Partnership

I am often asked a similar question by church leaders that goes something like this, “What does a mission partnership look like for our church?”  That is a great question, and the answer is different from church to church.  However, each local church has the same mission from God regardless of the location or culture...

Climbing the Mountain: Meeting God on the Journey

There’s just something powerful about mountains. In the Bible, big things happened when people went up to meet with God—Moses got the Ten Commandments, Elijah heard God’s whisper, and Jesus was transfigured in front of His friends. Those mountain moments weren’t just about elevation; they were about transformation. Photo by Billel Moula on Pexels.com That’s... Continue Reading →

Faithful Servants Following the Savior

I often ask the question of people, “How many of you need something else to do?” The varied responses are interesting, but overall, everyone just laughs or just sits there with no expression. Very few people ever say they want something else to do. But with that said, when disaster strikes, I find so many... Continue Reading →

The Commandments and The Commission

“There is no other commandment greater than these.” – Mark 12:31b There are some words in the English language that have a particular meaning but when used are oftentimes done in jest or light-heartedly. I feel like the word jargon is one of those words. Whether I use it or hear it, more often than... Continue Reading →

Remember the Gift

Over the years, I have received many gifts for Christmas as I’m sure we all have. There are various things I remember about those gifts such as the time the gifts were wrapped with the same wrapping paper for each individual person so mom would know whose presents were whose. I remember as kids (even... Continue Reading →

God Can Do Miracles

“Jesus said to them, ‘Unbind him, and let him go.’” – John 11:44b Back in October, I had the privilege of bringing a KBC report and sermon at the Red River Association Annual Meeting in Stanton, KY.
