What would you do?

• A few weeks ago on an early Saturday morning, I was approached by a man in his early twenties in a Rite Aid parking lot. His appearance was rough, his eyes not well, his clothes had paint splattered all over, he was tall, thin and approaching a stranger in a parking lot - he needed money.

• A man about my age sat on my front porch not too long ago. His wife had just left him, his countenance was calm, almost matter of fact but his eyes were swollen with the pain of many bad decisions, his adult children were confused, one of them was on drugs and he was contemplating the complexities before him - he needed help.

• A friend arrived at my door several years ago with a friend of his whom I had not met. His friend was in his late fifties, proud, excellent eye contact, strong handshake and earning 6 figures as a business man. My friend brought him to my doorstep because this man was addicted to pornography and he didn't know what to do with him any more - he needed freedom.

Here's today's question: In either one of these situations, would you know what to do?

The Biblical Rescue Intensive is designed with you in mind. Among many other vital techniques, you will learn how to 'slow the shutter speed of life down' If you will succeed where God leads you, vital knowledge is needed to realize that you cannot solve problems at the same speed in which they were created.

The Church is the most powerful certainty on this planet - by the way, that's you not the building you go to on Sunday. YOU are the most powerful certainty in any situation because Jesus is the head of you, the Holy Spirit leads from inside you and God the Father covers you.

All you need now is to be equipped in order to do the work of Rescue.

Join me and others as the Biblical Rescue Intensive is kindly being hosted by Pastor Josh and Pastor King of The Dwelling Place and Westside Community Church. The Intensive will start this Thursday evening [May14-16] at 6:00 at The Dwelling Place on the corner of Angola Road and Eber and will conclude on Saturday at 4:00 pm.

I'll also be presenting a new Rescue construct [May 17-19] called; The Five Core Behavioral Elements of Drunkenness on Sunday morning and Sunday evening [11-1 and 6-8] Monday and Tuesday evening [6-8] at New Life Church of God in Christ on Oakwood off Detroit.
