Consider this ... "People must be led to Jesus, not merely a religion, a church, or a program."  We need to lead people to Jesus before our structure, our programs, or ideal.  The most important lesson in discipleship is to teach people how to listen and hear God.  We must concentrate strategy and effort on showing people how to be people of His Presence.  Scripture proves that it is the Holy Spirit who leads us to salvation.  Well, if that is true, then shouldn't that same Holy Spirit be relyed on?  We need God's Presence in our lives in order to receive the revelation of who He is.  All of that is found in being in His Presence.  

1Samuel 23:16-18 16 And Saul's son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God. 17 "Don't be afraid," he said. "My father Saul will not lay a hand on you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be second to you. Even my father Saul knows this." 18 The two of them made a covenant before the LORD. Then Jonathan went home, but David remained at Horesh. As apart of our daily Bible reading today, this passage of scripture really jumped out at me.  I thought …

John 5:41-47 41 “Your approval means nothing to me, 42 because I know you don’t have God’s love within you. 43 For I have come to you in my Father’s name, and you have rejected me. Yet if others come in their own name, you gladly welcome them. 44 No wonder you can’t believe! For you gladly honor each other, but you don’t care about the honor that comes from the one who alone is God.[a] 45 “Yet it isn’t I who will accuse you before the Father. Moses will …

Psalm 118:27 "God is the LORD, And He has given us light; Bind the sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar." Wouldn't you agree that it is so hard to sacrifice things to the Lord?  Especially the things that you love or at least have helped make you who you are today.  Yes, sacrifice is a tough pill to swallow sometimes.  You know, I bet that ram or that lamb didn't want to just voluntarily sit on that altar either.  I'm sure the priest had to tie it down to the …

Revolution Church - And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. - Matthew 24:10-13 Be careful of the trap of offense! It is the enemy's plan to trap us into offense so that we will be rendered useless in a cage of anger and unforgiveness. Jesus said that many will get offended, not just a few or …

2 Timothy 2:15 - And athletes cannot win the prize unless they follow the rules. You know, we all love shortcuts.  Unfortunately, taking shortcuts only trains us to avoid the process that is necessary to win.  If you train with shortcuts, then you will compete the same way as you train - you will disqualify yourself with taking shortcuts.  It is my experience that the Lord our God has a process in which He does things.  It isn't as though we can figure it out or put a system to it, …
