Recording

give me a minute while I pick my jaw up off the floor. I consider it a great honor when this happens and all I ask in return to let me know that you are doing it and to pray for the success of Divine Mercy Ministries, especially a Divine Mercy Chaplet.

Why do I choose to do business this way? Simple. Were brothers and sisters in Christ. We live under the new covenant of the blood of Christ. That being true, we should deal with each other in such a manner. That means not turning one another into business entities and not treating our dealings with one another as business transactions. This isnt an indictment on anyone else. This is just what I believe and feel like the Lord has led me to do. Im upholding my end of the covenant relationship like this:
I expect you to uphold your end of the covenant relationship like this:
There wont be any contracts; just your word and mine (see James 5:12 and Matthew 5:37).

The Lord bless you and keep you,
