You are a leader. Everyone is called to some type of leadership. To lead means to influence, and we all influence others. Paul, the apostle, said he was “not appointed by any group of people or any human authority, but by Jesus Christ himself…” (Gal. 1:1). Remember, your ultimate call to lead comes from God. [...]
Have you felt discouraged lately? You are not alone. Chuck Swindoll says, “We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.” Let’s look discouragement in the face today and refuse it! And then press on, expecting our God to do amazing things through us. Winston Churchill once said, "Continuous [...]
D L Moody once said, “A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian... and most of all, his family ought to know.” Very true.
Faith is like Wi-Fi. It is invisible, but it has the power to connect us to what we need. And without it, we cannot please God. (Heb. 11:6)
D L Moody once said; “There are three kinds of faith in Christ: Struggling faith, like a man in deep water desperately swimming. Clinging faith, like a man hanging to the side of a boat.

I meet so many people who are tired. Many are so busy helping everyone else; they have not learned the secret of being intentional about taking care of themselves. I think of this often when I fly in an airplane. The flight attendant instructs us that if the oxygen mask drops, we must put our [...]
Are leaders born, or are leaders made? My perspective is both. However, we all need to focus on how we can grow into the leader God is calling us to be. Some people have a gift of leadership (Romans 12:8), but we are all called to lead in some way. So I encourage you to [...]
My friend Lee Grady said it well this week: “Racism is sick. Neo-Nazism is sick. And despite what some smug, churchgoing racists may tell you, these philosophies are totally incompatible with Christianity. White nationalism is an idea that was hatched in hell itself.” I completely agree. Lee continues: “White supremacy is part of the antichrist [...]
US Vice President Mike Pence once said; “I believe in servant leadership, and the servant always asks, 'Where am I needed most?'” That’s a great leadership insight! Even Jesus, the creator of the universe, took on the form of a servant as He modeled healthy leadership for all of us (Phil. 2: 5-7). How much [...]
