I have been amazed at what people who love Jesus can write about other people who love Jesus online. I am referring to comments that believers leave on blogs and Facebook postings. Not long ago, I responded kindly to someone who attacked something I wrote. I think his first word regarding my blog wasΒ β€œNONSENSE!” When […]

In Genesis 2:18 God said, “It’s not good for the man to be alone…” In a beautiful garden that was created by God, loneliness somehow showed up and it’s be showing up ever since. Have […]

“Do not waste time bothering whether you “love” your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone you will presently come to love him.”-C.S. Lewis Love is an action. God is always in action toward […]

Back in 2008, I had to tackle these questions.  Here are my thoughts from then and amazing to see it becoming reality years later.  God is faithful!
What character traits and values do you regard most highly?
Integrity, initiative, and accountability are traits and values that I deem to be essential to a servant leader. A team player or leader has to walk worthy of their calling (integrity), exercise the faith they profess (initiative), and realize they play a vital part in the body of Christ (accountable).

Do you prefer working alone or as part of a team?
I prefer working in a team environment because in a team we can hear different perspectives on the same issue. I alone cannot think of everything but I need people around me to bring their ideas, suggestions, corrections, etc… to the table in order for the team to be successful.

Describe your ideal job description (if you had all the resources available to you and you could do anything that you wanted to do, what would that be?).

I would pastor a local church that is focused on impacting the lives in the local community. Bringing young people, children, parents, and families together through different mediums and empowering them in God’s strength is a passion for me. Leading a ministerial and administration team that is equipped with all the tools to do the work that advances the vision God has set on my heart and fulfills the mission God has placed on the church.

Enjoying The Ride,

Pastor Cecil
