"Thank you Gary. Fun to revisit this dusty site! I am still committed to the SOIL manifesto. So much water under the bridge this past year and a half."
Jesus followers committed to living holistically
We are People Changing Communities
We corporately voiced the following declaration at our current church community PCC, I felt it was worth sharing with you all. See some parallels?
We are People Changing Communities
We are People...we were born to be image bearers of God, a people belonging to God, who are being authentic about our brokenness and need for
Him. We will strive to honor God by stewarding the body He has given us,
the relationships we have been entrusted with, and the community of PCC that
God has had His hand on for 60 years.
We are People Changing...we will no longer be conformed by the pattern
of the world but transformed by renewing our minds, following the Holy
Spirit and the living the Word of God. Stagnation is not an
option for us; we vow to grow into maturity by reflecting His character and
living into our calling.
We are People Changing Communities...Since God so loved the world that
He gave, we too will embrace the heart of Jesus by giving and receiving
grace, practicing healthy relationships, and acting socially
responsibly. We will share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, hoping and
praying that as many as possible believe and follow Him.
We are PCC. We will love this church with the same love Christ has
for His church. We will sacrificially serve, pray for and invest through
PCC so that His church will manifest the fullest and most accurate picture of
Jesus the Peninsula has ever seen.
We endeavor to do all this with humility, in the power of the Holy Spirit
for the Glory of God. Amen

I have been journeying with John in his engagement in fulfilling the SOIL commitment. This led me to look back at the site and notice that it has been inactive for quite some time. I assume we have all been engaged in the current calling God has placed before each one of us. For the past four years Linda and I have been engaged in starting a shelter for runaway/homeless youth in crisis: https://www.yeshelter.org/with a couple of forays to Kenya and…See More

Song: End of my journey
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwSzJcBogkU&feature=youtube_gdata_playerLoved this song, gives the example of what the cross and message of Christs life. Total surrender to ego, to be resurected to live in and from spirit. Following and surrendering to Christ.To be who we are and what we have come at this time in life to do on the earth. Only through the holy spirit can that be revealed.See More

"Holiness often isn't thought of in that way these days but that is so true. In what ways am I living a life that is different from the general way of the world, a life that is separated from the 'normal' way of living?"
"Good to see you on SOIL brother. I am excited about the possibilities. Shoot me an update on your life.
Your brother, John"
"Hi Dave it's good to see you on here. Look forwards to the conversation."
