From select guest-writers to opening up the blogs and boards to contributions from our members and eve more! We’ll also be launching the BCM Store – where we’ll offer Christian clothing, knick-knacks and doo-dads to make your testimony even more powerful. We have a lot more planned because as those with the mind of Christ we want to make our ministry real and felt within our communities.

See you soon – and get ready for the rebirth of the ministry!

    The order is REALLY important here. Why? Because God will be God with or without me. He can continue to exist etc. without me – I add to His plan; but He can complete it without me if necessary. Now don’t get me wrong – I’m not saying I’m a toy-thing to a Machiavellian God, but I’m recognizing my place and even moreso – God’s godliness.

    On the flipside however – if i CHOOSE to include and FOLLOW God in everything I do – there’s a remarkable difference! The difference is not just in my life either – it’s in the lives of those I touch and interact with too! So – yes, I’m the one sheep that He’d leave the flock to go after and when He’s found me He’d rejoice – but when you think about it – who suffers/suffered more due to that enter fiasco? The shepherd? or the sheep?

    …”it” (growth, joy, etc.) all begins with me – my efforts to stay close to God or my distractedness that takes me away from Him.

In many ways (and at many times) I was brought to/provoked to/enticed to/pushed to the edge of my faith and invited to look over. Each time I argued with myself for allowing myself to be brought back to that place one more time.

    Well – this week WILL be different!

    This week I will allow God to teach me something new about Him. This week I will choose to bring a smile to the face of someone who has hurt – and I won’t wince while doing it. This week I will let my treasured friends know I love them dearly (accept my apologies ahead of time for the incoming BBM blast guys)… but I’ll do more than tell them – yes, this week will be different – so for each day I’m going to choose a friend and SHOW them I love them, and that the almighty God loves them and treasures them too.

    This week, my week WILL be different… what aboutyours?

It’s a great devotional in my opinion and even though at first I thought it was a little too rigid for my tastes, I’ve come to appreciate the edginess and hard-hitting character of the writing.

    My Utmost for His Highest brings you to that inevitable place where as a believer you must choose – God’s way… or whatever else is left.

    Here’s to a week lived in the excellence that holiness demands!

    - Blessings
