Christianity is not about getting my way or forcing my beliefs onto anyone.

This way of being and this faith life is not knowing it all, not having it all right, and not being perfect or self-reliant.

Christianity is a lifestyle where I prioritize personal relationship with the Lord while continually growing in my understanding of God's grace.

This lifestyle draws me nearer to the Holy One, whose love transforms and awakens His life in mine and leads me in new pastures where He nourishes my soul.


Jesus came to bring a radical message to humans that confront worldly systems, tears down religious entities and comes to us to show us a way that is totally separate and distinct from the direction of our culture and society.

The message of Jesus is relevant today and has stood the test of all time as His life, truth, and love remains steady, faithful and unchanging in all seasons of our lives.

This message, this life of Jesus, is one of mercy, abiding love, forgiveness, compassion, kindness and caring all wrapped in discerning the way, the truth and the life before us as we clothe our inner realm in godly wisdom.

The way of the Cross and the way of Jesus is a personal relationship with the Godhead and personal relationship with others and how we relate from the Spirit-life to the broader community.

Of my own self, I have not the ability to be Christ to anyone or to show forth all He desires to manifest in this world. The vehicle that transcends my human limitations and my human inclinations is the life of Christ who becomes my source of life.

It is Christ's life who lives through my absolute willingness to surrender; pride, stubbornness, arrogance, resistance, self-knowledge, and all that rises in defiance of the Holy God whose love is enough, whose grace is sufficient, whose mercy is new every morning.

To live from the life of Jesus whose life has given us life --- each one must be intentional in meeting with Him alone, in an undisturbed space, basking in His presence, communing in His holiness, becoming saturated and drenched in His fullness.

There is no deeper, closer, broader, more comprehensive, higher sacred place other than in His presence where I am being pulled, drawn, pursued nearer to His breast of love in me, where He makes his home.

This union, this fellowship, this sacred holy dwelling place in God is more to be desired than anything this world can offer.

Once one has tasted of the Lord and encountered the reality of his supernatural, divine, lavish and pure tangible presence of Love in the union of this Triune God --- there is no turning away or denying His life fosters authentic relationships and real-life bound in community.
