“Now the men of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, ‘You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh Barnea about you and me. I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, but my brothers who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt with fear. I, however, followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.’” Joshua 14:6-8

Here we see an incredible chapter in an epic story. Joshua and Caleb were two of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the Promised Land. They found the land to be exceedingly good and yet 10 of the 12 most prominent leaders of the tribes of Israel, the vast majority, gave a faithless report. They did not believe that God would bring them victory and therefore led the Israelite community into grumbling against their leader Moses, and thus God Himself (Numbers 14:2, 27, 36).

Though in the minority, I write this article for the honor of God and for the defense of my friend and brother, Kip McKean and the Sold-out Discipling Movement.

Fall Faith Series, part 1: Faith Comes from Personal Conviction - Not Family Tradition - Outline

This Sunday was a really incredible day for our church. We just recently passed the 100 mark in our membership and at our service today, our attendance was 244. It has been so encouraging to see God’s miracles in front of our eyes here in Chicago and around the world. Last week Theresa and I had the priveledge of travelling to Washington DC for their inaugural church service in which they had 134 in attendance. One woman found a discarded invite on the ground and came out to church. Two people placed membership with the church that day, one was restored to Christ and two people were baptized (one from DC and one from the visiting Syracuse disciples)!

Tu fe es la clave de tu salvación.
Los antiguos por fe libraron la muerte, perdieron la vida, predicaron, fueron a todo el mundo, por la fe muchos han hecho grandes cosas para Dios, pero sin fe es imposible agradar a Dios.
Hebreos 11:1-6
