I quickly discovered there was an extraordinary atmosphere of love there. This is not a love that the world can provide; it must come from Jesus Christ. I sense His unconditional love coming from the leadership each time we come together, as well as a fervent desire to to see biblical manhood established in each one through the Holy Spirit, as we seek God together. Having dealt with a lot of loss, and resultant feelings of emptiness in more recent years, I am so grateful to our Heavenly Father for His Family, which is found in all kinds of places. He has used this meeting place to lift me up supernaturally, because that is what His Spirit does, when believers are willing to give Him free course. I have been a believer for most of my life, and was raised on the word of God, but when we open God's word together, with no agenda but to seek His face and love on one another, amazing things happen on the inside, and I know I am not alone in anything, or the same afterwards. I believe this has a lot to do with the two forms of listening we engage in: listening to God's word, and listening to one another. God has laid it on the heart of these brothers to build up the Family of God through applying faith and love to life's challenges, rather than shallow tropes or formulas. Around here, it is acknowledged that Jesus Christ is the answer, so our goal is to get closer to Him, and love each other through His divine nature. I can be honest about my personal life and failures without risk of it coming back to bite me. That may be a very rare environment in this world, but also very necessary if we are to truly going do life together. I highly recommend this ministry as a Christ-centered outlet for the ministry of God's Holy Spirit, and I pray God continues to use it help us discover who he is, and who he is empowering us to be as lights in a dark world.
