Jesus is the Standard. Well duh, you might think. That’s, like, so obvious. Of course he’s the standard, it’s not going to be anyone else is it? Funny I should ask that on your behalf. Recently I was doing a test for … ahhhh well that would be telling, it was just a test in […]
Read More The StandardSo He ends His teaching. His outline of the life that is pleasing to the Father. He is very clear. It’s one thing for people to hear what He said, it’s another thing to follow what He said. Following what He said reflects life built on one foundation. Not following what He said reflects life […]
Read More Foundations: Rock or SandNewsflash – I love scripture. The recent reason for loving the Word is because of the relationship between Paul and Timothy. It’s one thing for us to see the example of Jesus in front of the disciples. We can see that and say it’s alright for them, they had the perfect example to follow. Yet […]
Read More You’ve Seen Him In Me – Let Them See Him In YouSure there’s plenty to give an update about with what happened in 2017 and hopes for 2018 and all that jazz, I’m sure there’s a place for all of that.

Read More Precarious Projects: Disciples Making DisciplesThis blog has been going in some form or other for quite a while now. I don’t often go and look at what I wrote way back when, but today I was looking at an issue and considered what I wrote on the matter. There has been a lot written on this blog about fruitfulness.

Read More “Without Me, You Can Do Nothing” Another Thought on FruitfulnessI remember a brief exchange I had with King Arthur Sido. In it I was buzzed up with some article about church planting and that kind of thing.

Read More Basics In PlaceThere are some things in life that are really obvious. Things like, the start of the year is January and the end of the year is December. That’s obvious. Yet here I am approaching the end of November and it’s really dawning on me that the end of the year is near. I watched a […]
Read More This Is God – Revisiting Psalm 146My name is Christopher Dryden. I am a missionary from and for the Kingdom of God. Jesus hardly spoke about anything else.
