I am the lead pastor at Gateway Assembly, in Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada.

I have a dream to see the church be the Church, for leaders to empower people, and for every one to find out who God has created them to be and what He has gifted them to do.

Chrysostom on Choosing to See with the Spirit (Quote)

Chrysostom wrote about the importance of allowing the Spirit to enlighten the things of God, as we need the Spirit to understand spiritual things.

But the person without the Spirit does not receive what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually. (1 Corinthians 2:14 CSB)
