My Read On Life

A past mentor of mine, who has helped over 2000 people come to know The Lord over the past 30 years said to me, "Your life direction will will lean towards the 5 people you spend the most time with and the books you read."

Think about it... who do you hang with and look up to and what books are you reading.

My current read is "Creating Community" by Andy Stanley and Bill Willits. It's about Creating a small group culture with in a church.

Here is my favorite quote so far...In John 17:20-21 Jesus says

"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me."

Andy says, that it's as if Jesus is saying that unbelievers are just waiting to believe, but the question is, Will they see us relating in this magnetic, irresistible way?

This is what the community of small groups create. Are you hanging with one?
