Tag Archives: closer to God

Making my personal agendas public

“I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.” (1 Corinthians 1:10)

I’ve been trying to focus my “agendas” at church. There are lots that could be mentioned, but here are some I’m trying to focus on:

  • Have a church that is more like Jesus
  • Help people to get closer to God
  • Have a church that values unity over achieving personal goals

That’s a start. What points would you add to this “platform”?

Guest post at Desert Spiritual

I did a guest post over at Timothy Gunnells’ Desert Spiritual, writing on the topic “Closer, Still Closer.” The article begins:

That’s what I’ve come up with as I think about discipleship, missions, evangelism, and my purpose as a Christian.
I want to get closer to God. And I want to help others get closer to God.
