Network Marketing is a sales tool which builds upon relationship with others. I help you earn an income and as I help you you help me grow my income. We build relationship, we develop a mutual interest, help each other grow as we share tips and best practices along the way and we can become close friends with impactful support. I have never been successful in any of these economic ventures, but many have. It seems to be a simple impactful way to build financial independence. 

Why do churches not grow? Let me define growth because there are two types in my example. There are numbers of people in the building or now, online attending with us. The second is individual deepening of our personal life journeys with God. Numbers are important, but depth in teaching and learning growth are critical. 

Jesus lived his life for 33 years. The last three were his defined as his ministry years. He invented network marketing. He build relationship, he developed a mutual interest, helped others grow as he share tips and best practices along the way and he became close friends with impactful support. It was a simple impactful way to build spiritual and eternal independence. 

You want your church to grow? Perhaps better said, do you want The Church to grow? Model how Jesus lived and loved. It does not come without pain, struggle, setbacks and fears, but it does come with eternal life. God so loves us and desires us to become the best network marketers ever! The Holy Spirit will help guide you, equip you and encourage you in your uncomfortable concern of how to share. Honestly, you just need to develop relationship! 

The impact of network marketing the Christ within in us is critical and eternal! The most important task we have as believers in Jesus Christ.

“Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:18-20 NLT


Peace,

If you proclaim Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, then I must ask you a question. Are you seeking the deepest possible intimate relationship with God that you can ever experience on this earth? Because I know what I am about to say to be absolutely true. If you are not and if you are pursuing anything other than God you will not ever be satisfied and ultimately any other relationship will fail. It does not matter how deeply connected with another person you are without God it will fail. Failure may not mean completely walk away, failure can mean that a relationship will not be what it is intended to be and you settle for it because at least it is there, it's the best I can do, it could be worse and for many other reasons.  We are created to be in relationship with one another. We have many relationships and many depths within those relationships. We have social relationships. We have relationship with many forms of addiction and substitution. We have friends and we have FRIENDS...

I believe Christians are called to live a different life in the world than those who are not Christian. I believe that no matter the circumstance of the world, the government and all the just and injustice we are called to be different. Jesus handled the Easter journey much differently than I believe the modern Christian in the USA would have handled it. The Apostle Paul lived as best he humanly could to model the path and life of Jesus Christ during the difficult times of persecution and injustice of his journey. A lot of thoughts are swirling in my head during our difficult time we are currently experiencing and all of those thoughts come back to my life as a Christian, believer and follower of Jesus Christ, and do my thoughts, actions and words model Jesus on the Easter journey to the cross? In Matthew 16:24-26 Jesus told his disciples to "take up their cross and follow me!" I am believing that Jesus is telling us to live like, act like, be like and love like Jesus did....

Sabbath - to rest from labor, set aside as holy. Because we have less to do in our current situation, perhaps as Christians we can redefine what Sabbath looks like for us. I wonder how many of us traditionally go to church in our weekend routine, have lunch then get right back at it? After all, we have so much to do and so little time. It has been nice to sit and be. On the nicer days, when the weather cooperates, it has been so nice to sit on the patio and just be. I have sat and contemplated there more this year than I did all last summer. Perhaps a new normal of Sabbath can take place in our lives. As a child I remember going to church on Sunday morning and on the way home being dropped off at Grandma and Granddad's place. We would have lunch and quite often go for a ride. Usually the ride would end somewhere with ice cream! The routes must have been develops around the ice cream establishments in Northeast Ohio! We did very little, but for me as a kid we did a lot. I remember...
