Home Again!

It is sure great to be home after being away for almost 2 weeks. Of course I am suffering from jet lag, but the time I was able to spend seeking God in my studies and devotions was amazing. Many of you may not know that my Doctorate program is on Leadership and Spiritual Formation.

Much of my time is spent researching and studying the history and different aspects of leadership and how that may tie into spiritual formation, both for the individual and groups. After much study and reflection in my opinion I believe that the one thing it comes down to is "relationship". That pretty much sums it up! Jesus was completely relational, God created us for relationship with him and every aspect of the Gospel, in my opinion, is relationship. So as we continue our journey together be constantly aware that we are building both a vertical relationship with God and horizontal relationships with each other.

As we share the Gospel with those who have not heard it before we are creating relationship, as we pray to God we are creating relationship, as we fellowship with each other we are building relationship. It is all about relationship! So begin to look at your relationships, both the vertical and horizontal and keep aware that relationship is what God created us for.
