Mary - What a Mystery She Is

May 10, 2018

Wednesday May 16th @ 7pm The Mary You Didn't Know - An Interactive Discussion Directions to Ministry in Motion #MinMChurch #MetroLifeChurch

The Christian life is not just about a personal relationship with God, even if personal faith and responsibility are absolutely necessary. When too much emphasis is placed on a privatize salvation, we run the potential of getting so much wrong. Avoid the draw to escape church citizenry . Becoming a disciple of Christ was never meant to be a solo expedition. Doing so means we expose ourselves to totally missing the opportunity to see the Eternal and His Holy Spirit in action: in real communities, in actual churches, in non-partisan politics, in obvious differences, in honest-to-goodness marriages, in authentic social discussions and during hard theological disagreements. You can't go it alone . Following Jesus shouldn’t be about intellectual assent, but rather it's communal activity, where-by we help ensure we don’t run the risk of missing the Word who came to dwell among us . Consider that believing in Jesus and being mentored by the Holy Ghost is largely

What was your most sought after Christmas toy?

November 29, 2021

Toys come and go each Christmas season. There are few iconic toys that have withstood time, like: GI Joe action figures; Big Wheel ; Cabbage Patch Kids ; Tickle Me Elmo or Barbie Dolls . What was your most sought after Christmas toy? And, I wonder what this year’s most sought after toy will be? Maybe it's the one that a child most hopes for, but the prospects of getting it are slim to none — it’s not likely there will be a wrapped gift under the Christmas tree, this year. For Christmas 2021, we have the names 75 children from a local Tier 1 elementary school. It’s our desire and prayer to help make theses kiddo’s holiday just a little brighter by allowing them to wake up on Christmas morning to see what gifts Santa left under the tree. Economic experts estimate that the cost of children’s toys may be up as much as 10% ahead of this holiday season. Many in-demand gifts will likely be out of stock soon amid a snarled global supply chain. Sigh. Help us be the " churc

Deconstructed Faith

July 12, 2020

How has the deconstruction [1] of your faith influenced the way you think and act? Are you eager to reply: ‘I’ve not deconstructed my faith - it’s the assurance that the things revealed and promised in the Scriptures are true, and will come to pass ... In other words, my faith [2] is solid, tangible I know what I know — 'I have no need to do anything with by faith except believe' When I was a child, my speech, feelings, and thinking were all those of a child; now that I am an adult, I have no more use for childish ways . [3] The contrast in Paul’s Epistle is very striking. Our faith walk is not static — it evolves, morphs, matures and is reconstructed daily by the Holy Spirit. What does a Holy Ghost deconstruction faith look like? Maybe it’s realizing that my beliefs don't mean much without action. Or, reconstruction is moving from a self-centered faith to one that creates urgency and empathy for others. Possibly your evolving faith is feeling encouraged to “bring

Surely He Has Borne Our Griefs

March 30, 2018

“..Like a sheep to a shearing, like a lamb to be slaughtered , he went—oh so quietly, oh so willingly..” The crucifixion of Christ, the awful marriage of human sinfulness and the pinnacle of divine grace, must remain an enduring mystery, a mystery of my faith — Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again. Good Friday calls on me to take another look, to remember, His death. ~Selah~ So in my exuberance to treasure all the beauty that is Easter, I must be careful not to scurry past Good Friday. Easter alone does not make Christianity unique. It’s Good Friday, coupled with Easter, where we find the uniqueness of Christianity. As you contemplate the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus, I pray that God will reveal his unfathomable love for you in new ways. May you know the love of the one who gave his life for you… #Pkes #MinMChurch #MetroLifeChurch

Can't Tell Ya

October 07, 2018

Are you holding a close secret? Are you mum on something you're not supposed to tell anyone? If you’re like many folks I’ve met, you’re holding ‘something or other’ pretty close to your vest. And in doing so, as SNL’s Mike Myers would say: “Oh, I'm getting a little verklempt ( farklempt ). Most stuff is worth sharing, especially with the right person. While sharing personal “stuff” might seem like an invasion of privacy, it’s so worth the “vulnerability hangover” It’s worth being misunderstood and misrepresented. There’s desirability in discomfort. It's worth the death of your self-image and maybe even your brand. There’s benefit to owning up to what’s inside, no matter how difficult, because as the Psalmist wrote: Hidden things will always come out into the open. Secret things will come to light and be exposed. [1] Secrets bring bondage, sharing brings freedom. Freedom. Here’s what happens when you finally drop the act, when you finally admit that
