CALLING



Most “callings” are never fully realized.

Because many of us
unwittingly constrain and orient
our lives relationally:

More according to what we Fear in
rather than what we Hope for,
more of what we are Doubtful of
rather than what we Trust in;
more against what we Hate
rather than for what we Love.

It is the difference between
being rooted and embracing our existence in
the grainy negative

of a black and white photo
and a photo that exhibits
the full-color spectrum.

There Isn't ANYTHING

More Inspiring OR Dangerous

Than A Man Who Has A

Clear And Passionate

Purpose For His Life

My Thoughts Of What The Church Should Be


The Church

The church [ecclesia] is a group of people 
   graciously called by God the Father
into right relationship(s),through Jesus Christ 
   living as a dynamic "incarnational" [Christ in 
   our flesh] presence within the world, 
rooted in and emanating out of 
  an authentic and transparent community 
   [koinonia], 
dedicated to reconciling and restoring all things 
  over to the image and purpose of Jesus Christ…
  • Illuminated by the Holy Spirit
  • Instructed by the Scriptures
  • Informed by Church tradition

An Escapable Truth



We Live For And Serve

That Which We Love Most

TIME


To fully live, is to live fully in the moment...
Life is so incredibly fleeting otherwise...

It would seem wise to intentionally commit
to a heightened awareness....


To live fully in the moment, means to willingly step
into the heat of the crucible,


From which is formed the linchpin that fuses
our past and future together.


To fully live acts, as a hinge, that regularly opens or closes
a myriad of opportunities.
