We are to encourage believers to grow spiritually in Christ by discipleship; which is to continue and expand the work Jesus did. Everything God did was because He is LOVE. We identify precepts and principles from God’s Word, ONLY a Biblical perspective of God’s power, love, and faithfulness. Scriptures identify God’s plan for our lives. God’s will to us is revealed in His Word, so spending time reading and studying the Word of God brings more than information; it brings transformation.

Final thoughts of the last chapter
Learn what it means to abide in the Father, because apart from Him you will not bear fruit John 15:4-5. Ask Him to help you see people through His eyes… Here is an example; let’s examine your marriage: you can’t start a movement towards unity while getting a divorce. Is that laying down your life…
All You ever did was to Love Us
Mark 15 the whole chapter can not be read by a believer and not have your heart just pounding inside of you! Knowing how the suffering Jesus endured so you, His followers could be called daughter or son. So you could have the salvation you never deserved. I have given up things in life so…
Satan wants to separate us from God and each other.
Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God Matthew 5:9. It will require a fight. When God‘s people are miss treated or Gods house is being denigrated, staying silent becomes sinful. Fight against division! 1 Corinthians 5:11 -13 We live in a culture that minimizes the seriousness of sin and…
In the church, we divide easily because we love shallowly.
Chapter six Until Unity by Francis Chan. Love is the answer, it might sound oversimplified and cheesy, but love is the answer. Our divisions usually aren’t caused by a difference in theology, but a lack of relationship. It’s the shallowness of our love. When you’re deeply in love, division is unfathomable. In the church, we…
Love has a NAME
Love has a name….. living in love is what actual maturity looks like 1 Corinthians 13:6. Two most important commands that Jesus gives us: 1. To love God 2. To love the people around us Matthew 22:36- 40 God has created us in such a way that we crave relationships and family. He designed the…
Don’t Assume Division is Caused by Someone Else
Chapter 4 in Until Unity reminds us to not assume the divisions were caused by someone else. The revivals actually began with repentance Psalm 139: 23-24. Sometimes we except things from people because they except us as we are, and we think that’s love. We my have a professor who genuinely cares about us and…
Communication isn’t all we need…
“Kind words are like honey—sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.”—Proverbs 16:24 (NLT) Do you speak words of honey or words of unkindness when a conversation with your spouse gets heated? Let’s think about this. At that moment when you’re about to step into the dark realm of speaking unkind, painful words to…
Defeat Anxiety
Anxiety is like a car in neutral, on top of a hill, without the parking brake on. It may balance for a while, but all it needs is a gentle shove to roll down the slope. Then, slowly but surely, gravity will pull the automobile downward, and what was once a resting and balanced vehicle…
