James believes that God has called him to a life of Holy living and service to humanity and the world through the body of Christ, the Church. This life of Holy living and service is to be lived out in the pursuit of Excellence that is built on the foundation of God’s Loving Grace revealed through Jesus Christ, the Faithful knowledge and Witness of God’s Way through the Holy Word and the Enabling-power of the Holy Spirit to live as a faithful friend, servant, and disciple of Jesus Christ. If he had to sum up his philosophy for life and ministry into a statement it would be: “Always strive to give God, God’s People, and God’s Creation your best and never settle for less.” He believes we should always give our best in whatever we do because God gave us His best in Jesus Christ.
