A Heart Cry For The Wine…

Over the years I have spent more hours than I can count working to encourage, support, correct, build up, develop and maintain the structure and program of the Church. I say this for no other reason than to give some context to this post and the audio file attached to it. To use a biblical image, I have spent significantly more time focusing on the Wine Skin than on the Wine it is intended to contain. Sadly, I have not been alone in this committment to work with the Wine Skin in hopes that such action would make things all better.

I truly believed, for a long period of time, that if we could just get the structure and format of the Church right we would see God release His Power and Life and use us to impact the world for His Kingdom…I was wrong. The issue is not the Wine Skin…

Standing on a Kansas City street in the middle of a cold winter night I encountered God in a way that is still affecting me today! Nothing in my religious training had prepared me for this encounter that started me on a journey of discovering an identity that was not rooted in performance.
