Noise.
Jul 29Silence where have you gone. I’ve looked and looked but cannot find you. Even when I manage to eliminate external sound, the clanging of my head and booming of my heart distract & disturb me. I get frustrated that the conditions don’t lend themselves to my criteria for hearing… I’m the problem. My listening is based on how I choose to hear. God’s not giving me...
Mature?
Jul 28I have since learned that the most mature believer is the one who is bent over, leaning most heavily on the Lord, and admitting his total inability to do anything without Christ. The greatest Christian is not the one who has achieved the most but rather the one who has received the most. ”
— Jim Cymbala ~ Really looking forward to the ministry of Pastor Cymbala tonight at War Week. The last time I heard him speak, God rocked my life & added wheels to the vision of Real Church Detroit! Who knows what might happen tonight! Stay...

Jul 25I’m having a hard time processing all of the thoughts and feelings inside of me tonight. I’ll try to throw a few things down on a list… Today was my last time preaching in Hamtramck (@RCHamtown) – tears ran down my face before I stepped out of my office. Wow, we’ve come so far in such a short period of time. PRAISE JESUS! I love these people and I’m so...
Consumed.
Jul 24If sinners be dammed, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for. ”
~ Charles Spurgeon Compassion for the lost & dying consumes me — may my life exclaim His love & grace and may my actions be decisive & pure as He directs. There is no cost too high or person too lost. His will be done…...
How I picture ‘church’…
Jul 23This is a powerful video by ALM:uk — a worship team at an amazing church in England. It displays and describes the move of God that has happened in and through them. I LOVE HOW THEY TALK ABOUT JESUS! It’s clear that He’s there EVERYTHING! When I pray and envision the church God is asking us to raise up in Detroit, I see a clear connection to what’s happening in England. I...
Simple.
Jul 22Materialism is an obsession with material things. Asceticism is the denial of the good gifts of the Creator. Pharisaism is binding ourselves and other people with rules. Instead, we should stick to principles. The principle of simplicity is clear. Simplicity is the first cousin of contentment. Its motto is, ‘We brought nothing into this world, and we can certainly carry nothing...
