I cannot wait for y’all to read this book. I had the privilege of taking a look at it several months ago and it’s incredible. A much needed word from a very dear brother.
Well, things started feeling a whole lot more real last night! #TheReasonforChurch @ZReflective

As a pastor one of the saddest things is to see a person pull away from a local church and not realize that they are doing serious harm to numerous brothers and sisters in Christ. It’s as if they’re never read 1 Cor 12. Friends changing churches is never only a “me” decision it is a “we” decision.

To entrust the work of the ministry to others requires a deep trust of the Spirit of God in others. If the Spirit can work thru you (thru me?!), then surely He can work in and thru others.

We thank you for those disappointments and failures that lead us to acknowledge our dependence on you alone. -Book of Common Prayer

If you're living in a supposedly secular city, look around you & hear Jesus's words about the harvest being plentiful. The time for bold evangelism is now. Most people will not want to hear. But a surprising number will & it's our job to tell them about Jesus & invite them in.

Let’s not confuse healthy relational boundaries for “ghosting” one another. Healthy boundaries are communicated. This is difficult work, but necessary for relationships to flourish.

Comparison doesn’t have to steal our joy. Comparing ourselves to others while celebrating our differences can actually increase our joy. It can help us love the way God made others in ways that are different than us. And, in turn, we learn to love the way God made us.

“If God were to speak to us in a divine language, not a creature would understand him. But what spells out his grace is the fact that from the moment of creation God stoops down to his creatures, speaking and appearing to them in human fashion.

This is why all the names by which God calls himself and allows us to call him are derived from earthly and human relations.” H. Bavinck

In a sense, we are all entering a community project today that will shape our collective future. My vote isn’t merely for me, but for my household, my neighbors, my fellow citizens yet born, and future citizens yet to come to our shores.

“Fiends” freudian slip or an accidental typo? 🤦🏻‍♂️
This election season reminds of the two groups of 7th grade girls arguing over which boy band is the best… Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC? The obvious answer? Boyz II Men (in a landslide). You have more than two options, my fiends.

One of the beautiful, albeit difficult, realities in following Jesus is the freedom to admit you are in the wrong and yet still be known and loved as if you are in the right.
