First Things

This is the most important project I’ve ever worked on. Why? Because I see and hear many people who are adrift in a sea of confusion about core concepts in the New Testament. The New Testament (NT) shows us the reality of people who were giving their lives for Jesus and his mission every day. What fueled and directed that kind of living? How do we recover it for us?

Above all, a clear statement of what really matters most to God is desperately needed in our day and beyond. Otherwise, we will NEVER experience the life of God in us as they did in the New Testament… and we will not be the conduits of God’s love and power to the world that he has called us to be. Both, my friend, are simply unacceptable.

So, I invite – encourage – you to read “First Things” with an open heart and mind. The ultimate goal is that you and I are vitally connected to Jesus and with others as we live our lives, here and now!

Simply Follow

Simply Follow is a set of concepts for personal spiritual growth, building community and following Jesus as the New Testament shows us. It can be  a useful starting point for a focused discussion with friends about what it would look like to simply follow Jesus today, right here – right now. For folks who are curious about following Jesus, but not ready to commit, that discussion would be like seeing a house before you buy the house. 

While there are principles in Simply Follow that will never change, there is always room for growth and greater understanding over time. Your comments can help make it better. Please send your comments and stories to admin@livewickmedia.com.

From Charl in South Africa: “Thank you for SF I enjoy it and use it.”

From Eman in the Phillippines: “I like your book “Simply Follow.” Very simple to understand and easy to share with others. I am reading it right now. And I’m thinking that we can use this here in the Philippines to disciple others.”

The booklet version, long form version and a condensed version are available below.
