It's possible to believe the Gospel and not have an intimate, personal relationship with the Risen One, a relationship that makes us useful and productive. The desire for this is what propels us forward in our faith. I want to be useful, to live a meaningful and effective life. What about you?

Sunday Supernaturally: Searching for Shepherds
We are not designed to do this life alone. We need each other, and we all need a shepherd to help us along the way. If you have a great pastor, thank God for it and let him/her watch for you. If not I pray you find a place to connect, submit, and develop your gifts.

Sunday Supernaturally: Change Me, Lord!
God is the ultimate Father. In every circumstance, He deals with me as a father with a child, interested only in my well-being and growth. I bear His Name and His image; He wants me to do it well. His correction helps me look more like Him.
