Welcome to the Crossroad Blog!

The Crossroad Blog is a place where you will find postings from the M’Cheyne Bible reading plan as well as encouragement and application ideas for putting faith into action.

You will find a variety of posts, including scripture reflections, rumination labs, poems, ministry updates, and more.  You can even Tweet select quotes from posts like this example! Postings are geared to help the Crossroad family grow in grace and knowledge of God. Some will specifically follow the learning model below in order to gain the most from the public ministry of the word as well as our private study of God’s Word:

  1. See it clearly
  2. Understand it truly
  3. Value it appropriately
  4. Feel it fully
  5. Apply it joyfully
  6. Share it compassionately
