foundational fundamentals

Any contractor will tell you that the most important thing to do right when starting a project is to have a good foundation. If your foundation is one inch out of square, it can put the rest of the building out of square exponentially as you build up.

That’s why we are paying particular attention to the foundation of the church we are starting in Miami. We want to build it on the foundation of Love. Jesus said the most important commandments are to Love God and Love People.

Church attendance in America is dwindling and an increasing amount of people have a distrust of Christians and churches in general. As soon as they find out you belong to a church or are working in connection with a church, walls shoot up, they become guarded and get all weirded out and stuff.

So we are also starting a charitable foundation (charitable means love, funny huh?) that will be used as a vehicle to serve others with love without the negative connotations of "some religious organization". That will allow us to get close to people that are far from God and form relationships out of love.

Yep, were gonna trick ‘em ......... in a loving way of course.
