Living With God

Starting in ministry almost 20 years ago, we had a lot of answers. We believed that if the truth will really set you free, then the more truth we can help people learn the more people we would see live free. Problem was, the Truth Jesus was talking about was Himself. Sometimes in church life, even the doctrines we espouse can become a distraction from the Savior we crave.

Volunteerism, service, ministry – all very good things – can even take the place or supercede a personal love walk with Jesus Christ. Things we do in the name of God and for the love of our Lord Jesus can become a substitute for abiding in Him, as He commanded us to do in the Gospel of John.

The test? Try to spend more time in silence before Him than working for Him. Many of us would rather be DOING something for Jesus than communing with Jesus. It requires disciplining our thoughts and hearts to be still and focus on the Lord. Sometimes He will even allow for trials in our lives to help us to focus on Him more.

Our goal and purpose is to help stip away the distraction and create an atmosphere in the lives of individual saints to experience the love and presence of the Father, the forgiveness and love of the Savior, and the indwelling and love of the Spirit. It is not a neat and tidy journey, for most of us it has been and continues to be very messy. But in that mess, God uncovers our hearts and reveals the deepest point of need where He longs to heal and restore us.

We invite you to step into the mess and allow God to have His perfect way in your heart and life. Even in the pain of tragedy, He draws us to healing, if we will let Him. Living for God means living with God, communing with Him, reaching for Him, opening ourselves up to Him. We are learning to live with God…. and to live free.
