Posted by Kristy Tarrant at May 03, 2013

John 15:5 says, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” As always, Jesus tells it like it is, and the news can seem a bit disheartening. Apart from Jesus we can do nothing. He doesn’t say we will accomplish a little bit, or that we’ll do fairly well. We can do nothing apart from him. Nothing of value. Not a thing that has eternal implications. But there is hope in the preceding... Read More »

Posted by Kristy Tarrant at April 04, 2013

“Community” …As a professor of Health Care Administration, I say that word a lot in courses such as Special Populations, Public Health, and Health Policy. But no textbook can truly provide the meaning God intended that word to carry. Community is not just a word to describe a group of people with commonalities.

Dr. Bob Really Does Care

Posted by Kristy Tarrant at April 02, 2013

We are honored to have Dr. Bob Paeglow and members of his team at Koinonia Health Center in Albany, NY presenting a workshop at the conference this year. Two years ago I met a medical student rotating at a Christian clinic in Memphis. Students coming to Memphis often schedule time with me to learn more about CCHF and the community of hair-on-fire-Jesus-loving-servant-radicals that make up the CCHF family. I love telling them about ministries that are extending Christ’s love to vul... Read More »

How do you spell “COMMUNE-ity”?

Posted by Kristy Tarrant at March 05, 2013

“It is not good for man to be alone.” We were created to live and thrive in community. It is a vital part of our being created in the image of God. Referring to the Trinity, one theologian referred to God as “a Sweet Society”. When we sinned, the first result was broken community. Sickness and death followed. Jesus risked his reputation and the credibility of his story by tying them to how his followers live and care for one another in community. [1] When we are baptiz... Read More »
