James 1:9-12But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;
and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation,
like flowering grass he will pass away.
For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass;
its flower falls off the beauty of its appearance is destroyed;
so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.
Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial;
for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life
which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
Our status as a community of saints is the foundation for our living holy lives; community for the sake of Holy Communion.

I married my wife Suzanne in May 1996. I love her and treasure her as the best friend and helpmate I can imagine. We have 3 wonderful boys. I am finishing my Doctoral dissertation on developing self-replicating teams for church planting and working for Logos Bible Software. God is awesome!

- Elders Lead A Healthy Family: Missional Structure
The service of the Christian Elder is rooted in our Jewish tradition, but it also has characteristics unique to the New Covenant. A quick study of just one of these differences between old and new tells a lot about God’s missional design for the New Covenant church. The [New Testament] local church has a simple [...]

- When the Church Was A Family
Dr. Joseph Hellerman was one of my professors during my Doctor of Ministry Residency at Talbot School of Theology.
