the cost will be. ...

Choices: Letting the Dead Bury Their Own Dead
Can you offer a time or times when you chose to leave 'burying the dead' behind
and chose instead to be about "proclaiming the kingdom of God?" What did that
look like for you? ...

Following Jesus?
Our ability to continue to serve others is not based on the results we see,
but rather on the hope that is firmly grounded in Christ's victory over
death itself, which demonstrates "that there is light on the other side of
darkness." ...

Setting Our Face Towards Paradox
There is only one way to fully embrace love. It is to walk away from sin, and

Giving Up Everything…Except Christ
When Jesus uses the title disciple in bible, it is synonymous with
Christian. A Christian is a disciple and there are no Christians who are not
disciples. A disciple isn't a super Christian or something you become after
you're saved. A disciple is a Christian. ...

Being Chosen
God is the one who calls people into relationship with Himself and to their
calling in life. It is for His purposes, not ours. Jesus chose each of his
disciples. They did not choose Jesus, Jesus chose them. ...
11.
Discipleship and Detachment
The choice to embrace the Gospel is serious business. We are not called to be
part time Christians or mere Sunday Christians who give the appearance of
discipleship but in truth never let the core message of the Lord truly
change our hearts and minds. ...

Jars of Clay
What kind of God, indeed what kind of religion, takes fallen and broken
human beings and includes them as key players in the plan of salvation? ..
God became one of us - filling jars of clay with immeasurable treasure. It
is the uniqueness of the divine-human allegiance that keeps me believing. ..

Inspiration: Your Dream Power
Danny thought he knew every piece in the puzzle and when those pieces did not
fall in place, I would tell him, "Danny there is a reason this happened and
eventually we will find the answer." Make life an adventure and realize that you
are not in control as much as you would like to believe. ...
