I have finally come to grips with the fact that my zeal and passion for God is both the joy of my life and the bane of my existence. Its been so painful for me over the years to have so many enjoy my passion for a time but eventually hate me or turn on me because it made them uncomfortable or even worse, its made seemingly mature leaders cave in to undisturbed insecurity. I have longed for many years to simply be a part of a community where my wife and I can be valued and appreciated for who we are and given the freedom to do what God has called us to but this has been to no avail. Seasons change and people come and go, but this longing only intensifies. I am realizing that maybe I am not called to join a tribe. Im called to build a house. A house of prayer for the Presence of the Lord to dwell in where Jesus is the central focus and founding Chief Cornerstone. I believe that when this happens I will have found my tribe. Even if its only a few...the longing for real covenant comrades continually leaves an ache in my heart that few have been able to fill in my life. If there are any other lonely burning ones out there feeling discouraged by the lack of authentic friendships in the body of Christ and are looking for real biblical fellowship thats deep and constant, always provoking, sharpening, and encouraging then the door is open in Sioux City, Iowa. Jesus is a building a house and Im here do that with Him and for Him. What we are doing here isnt perfect or even pretty. But its full of God and bigger than us. Come join us. Psalm 69:9...For zeal for Your house consumes me, and the insults of those who insult you fall on me.
