10 Reasons Why You Should Be the Change in Church
Caleb Breakey - Friday, May 23, 2014
Infiltrating—or, being the change in church—teaches you how to love the unlovely. It drives you to not only study God’s Word, but to live out his commands.

If your church doesn’t desire God’s presence or want to radiate his glory, leave. If your church doesn’t care about the greatest commandments of love and the great commission to reach others, leave. If your church cares more about the building than the people, leave. But before you do, read John 8:2-11:
Wolves Attack the Lone Sheep

It’s been said that wolves attack the lone sheep. And while it isn’t pleasant to think of yourself or your other as a wolf, the reality is, we’re all capable. This is why it’s vital to invite others into your relationship. #Relationships #DatingLikeAirplanes
How Jefferson Bethke Thinks the Church Should be
Caleb Breakey - Tuesday, May 06, 2014
We were created out of community (the Trinity) and for community. We weren't meant to walk alone. Because when we do, storms come and destroy. But when we're in the community of the Church, we bear one another's burdens and come up strong.
