Mere Example

Posted by on Feb 2, 2012

Bridgett Barnes once told me that we’re living in a time where people are so desperate for hope, so desperate to find something or someone to believe in that they seek to find these things in places they simply cannot reside in. Even though this conversation took place years ago, it’s so relevant today right down to this very second. We are mere examples of hope, examples of faith because our hope and our faith is in God. We lead others to Him, but we are not Him. Just because I walk like my father, talk like my father, doesn’t mean I am my father. It does however mean that...

Peas In A Divine Pod

Good evening. Last weekend, a powerful message was ministered at a church I fellowship with when I’m in Georgia, The Church At Chapel Hill (CCH). Their current series is titled, “If Not Us, Who?
