We are all looking forward to this Sunday and the ‘dedication’ of our new home for Quest at 17126 Manchester Road, Wildwood, Missouri. To dedicate means to officially make a place for honoring or remembering a person, event, etc. In a Christian theology and worldview, the place that is dedicated to Christ is most essentially the human heart. That is where He…

In the coming days the gospel will be most clearly and powerfully communicated through us living out our faith with mature Christ-like character. Actions really do speak louder than words. Words without character are simply empty and hollow. In these last few weeks, before we move over to the new property, I want to focus on our maturity and what qualities we…
In the coming weeks we will occupy a building in Wildwood… a property that many people have been working really hard to prepare for us to occupy… and it is going to be so much fun. Prepare yourself to occupy!!!! But even more so, prepare yourself to occupy / move into / be present in / take up residence in / the…
When there is news or an announcement that is profoundly compelling there is also a sense of ethical and moral responsibility to communicate that news or announcement to those who would potentially be affected. That is why our early warning systems concerning hurricanes, tornados and thunderstorms (and even to a slight degree, earthquakes) are so helpful. That is why birth announcements and…
One dimension of the Christian life and the essentials of the ‘gospel’ (the good and all encompassing message of God to mankind) involves a heart felt compassion for the brokenness of people. The lifeblood of ‘reaching out’ is a heart that beats with understanding these essential elements of God’s design and purpose in this world. If the ‘gospel’ is reduced to a…
Sometimes I am amazed at how applicable (and, frankly, how profoundly important) something is in my circumstances that I accidentally run across. It felt that was last week as I prepared for our Sunday worship service. I had chosen to utilize John 17 as the text for three weeks of our focus on Prayer. This particular prayer of Jesus was the one…
Easter is now over (at least the celebration), and we are left to live in light of the reality of Jesus life, death, resurrection and eventual second coming. If we actually embrace those realities, then our lives have to include some very distinctive implications. Life is not just a random set of events that get strung on the necklace of survival. Life…
Easter 2016 is a brand new deal. It is not like last year… this is totally new and different! On the other hand, Easter 2016 is just the same as it has always been. It is a exactly like it was last year… it is a repeat of the last 2000 years. Both of these thoughts are true. Easter 2016 recognizes and…
Part of our being ‘equipped’ for a life of maturity is understanding that God has gifted us with His grace expressed in and through us. Each of us has been designed and wired with a uniqueness that was His doing. That uniqueness is expressed in all sorts of ways (you personality, your physical appearance, your passions, your interests, etc.). One of those…
We have been focusing on what it means to be equipped… in other words… what does it means to be outfitted to take the ‘quest’ or adventure called the Christ filled life? It has been exciting to see that being equipped is not a skills-based idea. Equipped means to become mature and increasingly transformed into the image of Christ and His character. We…
