The Future Of The Church Is Also About Looking Back And Looking At Where We See These Wonderful Renewals And What We Can Learn From The Early Church.

When I Think Of Some Of The Great Renewals In The Church I Think Of Folks Like St. Francis And Clare Of Assisi Who, Through Their Lifestyle, Were Challenging The Patterns Of Materialism And Militarism And It Affected The Christianity Of Their Age.

My Goal Is To Speak The Truth In Love. There Are A Lot Of People Speaking The Truth With No Love, And There Are A Lot Of People Talking About Love Without Much Truth.

God Doesn't Want To Change The World Without You.
