Growth Engines!

It is very common in business to discuss "growth engines." What is it that is causing our business or a certain part of our business to grow? Is it a new department head, an exciting new product or cleaner communication lines? Even though we are not a "business" we ask the same type of questions at Real Life Family Center. What ministry, what new event, what new leader is helping grow our church and ultimately God's kingdom? Well, I want to ask each of us to ask the same thing of ourselves and our families. Am I growing? Spiritually. Emotionally. Financially. If not, what new "engine" do you need to place in your life to jumpstart growth? More time alone? New books? New friends? If you are seeing growth what is fueling it? Maybe you should give even more time and energy in that direction to that "engine."

I challenge you to take some time this week and inventory your growth. Don't be satisfied with where you are and begin to find new ways to spark new growth.

Growing with you.

New Life

Flowers are beginning to bloom. Trees are blossoming. Sheep and cows are nursing their new calves and lambs. It is spring and spring means new life - new growth. At Real Life Family Center we just celebrated Easter Weekend as we rejoice in the life Jesus purchased for us. What a great weekend! The best thing about it? You guessed it New Life! 65 people made first time decisions to allow Christ to forgive them of their sins and help them live a new life of significance. Are you growing? Do you see signs of life in your life? Don't get caught up in the rat race. You were meant for more than that. You were designed to live a full, rich, satisfying life. That life begins with a relationship with God. Don't settle for anything else.

Getting Wild

I am entering the 21st century with my first blog. For those of you who take the time to read this I want to thank you. I hope I don't waste your time. In my blog I will share what God is teaching me, what I am learning from others and how I am growing. My prayer is that anyone who reads may identify with the journey and be encouraged to take the next step.


At RLFC, we are in the middle of an exciting new series entitled, "Born 2 B Wild." The premise is that our faith and relationship with Christ is not meant to be a bland, bloring exercise in religion, but rather an exciting, bold adventerous relationship. Is that what you are living? Is your life filled with mystery, risk, danger and even a little pain or are you just sucking air and taking up space? There is more you know. If you are not yet a christian are you willing to give Jesus the opportunity to change your life forever? If you are a christian are you living the exciting faith you were hoping for? What is holding you back? There are many problems in our society, are you willing to be part of the solution. Take the next step. You were Born 2 B Wild!
