February 25th

"He ordered them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts;" Mark 6:8

no chauffeured limousines

pulling up to buildings 

which look like corporate headquarters,

no mega-mansions 

in fenced-off properties

with security to match,

no celebrity-studded 

board of directors and

no high-financed 

public relations firm

spinning every sermon,

just trust,

trust that, 

by your grace

we will find 

the places, and

the people, 

you know need

you more than 

we need adulation.
