The Lord always gives tender budding faith timely assistance in growing and maturing in the knowledge of Himself.

Local churches are only as fruitful and healthy as the individual leaders and members that comprise them. Bigness, always the American rage, is not the gold standard. In fact today I would say that a megachurch is a big red flag because the truth lacks mass appeal. For our best models we need to go the Scriptures for tried and true servants of God who set the bar to emulate.

To search for meaning anywhere and in anything apart from Christ is like a thirsty traveller lost in the hot desert trying to draw water from the hot sand.

The past 2 years I believe have exposed a frightening reality for the church, that we have lost our identity. Is the possibility that our faith no longer defines us, is this the major cause for the discord among us? Have we lost our way because of doctrinal disputes, social conflicts, or relational disharmony, or are these the ailments of a people who no longer know who they are. Ezra was sent to the Jews for one purpose reclaiming their identity as God’s chosen people. Today Christians are supposed to be God’s people.
