"If repentance bears no fruit, then faith has no virtue. We change when the misery of where we are is greater than the fear of change." ~ Neil This past month has been a transformative season. Our move from a large 3,500 sq. ft. ministry space into a 1,200 sq. ft. home forced us [...]
While God is unchanging, He often operates in new and unexpected ways. Embrace these changes, moving away from traditions and institutional practices that may hinder spiritual growth. Trust, rooted in love, is essential for faith to flourish. The last six months have been a period of deep transformation, like that of being put through [...]
Neil's Minutes = Conversations of Change I asked the Lord, "How can we know we're in the right place?" The answer came in Hebrews 3-4 about entering into His rest (peace). Peace and rest come from being in a place of trust. I don't fight to get rid of fear. I push to enter [...]

Pentecost is just around the corner. It's time to [...]
