“Michael Billings was a man who understood the calling of the dominion man and how that calling fit into the Great Commission. He was willing to learn fast and fight hard in the defense of the Faith. Michael was determined to get to the essence of the Christian life and to live it with all the many gifts with which his Creator had entrusted him. He had a ready mind for orthodoxy, but he knew the importance of cultivating a broken heart for orthopraxy.
He was desperate to know how wisdom and knowledge worked in a world that needed reformation. He was desperate to know the mind of Christ and how to exercise the power of Christ as His subject and ambassador. In March of 2006 Michael wrote, “In Matthew 11, Christ contrasts himself with the self-absorbed religious leaders of His day, calling out to the people, ‘Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart. Through this one significant statement, Jesus tells us who he is as a person and as a leader: He is gentle and humble.”
Michael moved though life with deliberate and purposeful gentleness and humility because he was a deliberate follower of Christ. This is why the testimony of his life will continue to lead and inspire men for generations.”
