DEPTH CHARGE 2015

DEPTH CHARGE 2015

I've been praying and meditating on God's word to Disciple Christian Motorcycle Club for 2015. For our first few years we sought breadth. Perhaps selfishly or for reasons of pride, we wanted to grow. We grew across America and elsewhere. Last year the 2014 word was Depth. We wanted to see relationships deepen across the country. We asked bros to be reaching across state lines...

What it Means to be Spiritual

What does it mean to be spiritual? If you hang around some churches through observation you might get the idea that being spiritual means singing the loudest in church. Or perhaps parking your pickup truck as close to the pastors as possible. Or maybe it means sitting on the front row, wearing the nicest suit, or being the one selected to teach Sunday school once a month? Perhaps it means saying...

Spiritual Warfare Prayer Challenge

Father in the name of Jesus I plead the blood of Jesus for forgiveness of my sins, and those of my brothers. I ask your Holy Spirit to bring conviction to me and my brothers regarding sin in our life. I pray that we will live a life of holiness, and that you will protect and bless us in every way because of our desire to live for you.

Father in the name of Jesus I come against and bind all...

Sowing to the Spirit

YOU NEED TO READ THIS.

1 Cor 3:1 Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ. 2I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. 3You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like...

You Too Can Beat Anxiety

If one spends more time with Jesus, one starts to sound like Him, and ones Facebook page starts to look like Him. When one doesnt, one starts to sound like the world and their Facebook page becomes about them, and how much they hate politicians and various other religions or religious leaders. Spend some time with Jesus today, and follow the Word about praying for your leaders and the lost....

Showing the Love of Jesus through Arguments and Name Calling

Lets begin a war between the Catholics, supporters of Joel Osteen, protestants, evangelicals, pentecostal, Kenneth Hagin supporters, church of God, church of God in Christ, church of Jesus, Seventh day adventist, Southern Baptist, freewill Baptist, independent Baptist, bapticostol, non denominational, and the guys with the snakes. Then when the last guy is left standing he can stand there alone on...

Do Not Despise Prophetic Utterances

Prophecy at its essence is speaking words that bring other people closer to Christ. I'm blessed to be surrounded by a bunch of men who challenge me on a regular basis. Who is speaking into your life? Who's there to challenge you when you get off track? Are you listening, or at least giving prayerful consideration to prophecy? Being in church is important, but it's important to have godly people...

Why I Ignore Critical Negative People

Ignore critical negative people. Even if they quote scripture and try to sound hyper spiritual. The Holy Spirit of Truth isn't critical. He uses conviction, but never derision. When you hear that,  you are hearing the enemy, speaking through someone who doesn't even know they are his mouthpiece. Ignore them and they will fade away.

You will know them by their fruits, and the fruits of the Spirit...

Haters Gonna Hate

I think Billy Graham is a great man of God.  How dumb it seems to me to see people sharing videos about why he or any other man of God are something less than great men, doing great things for the kingdom, getting men saved.

Billy Graham, Chuck Swindol, Joel Osteen, Kenneth Hagan and a lot more have one thing in common. They led more people to Christ and godly living than you have.  

Remember Mark...

THE WAR ON BROTHERHOOD: Fighting through Prayer, Submission, and Obedience

Praise God that He is sovereign. I've had the pleasure to call James Disciple Johnson since the very beginning of Disciple. I can't begin to explain the way our relationship has shaped me and has grown me as a Man of God. We've been through a lot together, ridden thousands of miles side by side. I stood by his side when the 1%ers tried to cut his patches off and told us there wasn't going to be...

The bylaws of Disciple were and have been written recognizing the fact that we are a new organization. We are in the unique formational process of founding this club and starting up charters around the country and the world. We are establishing best practices for getting new Charters in place. We are adding new regional and national leadership positions as we start up state after state, country...

Forget Doctrine, Preach the Bible

I've had conversations with people in the club that told me they didn't agree with what I was teaching. It's okay not to agree. But before you say you don't agree, do it biblically, and follow these rules. 

1. Know what you're talking about. Generally folks who don't agree about something I've said don't even know what I've said. They didn't hear it from me, and assumed something based on some sort...
