A child sleeping in an obscure manger in Bethlehem was actually a king in disguise. And this king, our king, now rules both in heaven and in our lives here on earth. As we celebrate the birth of our Lord this Christmas season, may the radiance of Christ fill your heart, may his love warm your family, [...]
Our natural tendency is to either live in the past or live in the future. We must focus on today, and live it to the fullest! C. S. Lewis once said, "Relying on God has to start all over everyday, as if nothing has yet been done." Jesus admonished us, “So don’t worry about tomorrow, [...]
Abraham Lincoln once said, “Give me 6 hours to chop down a tree and I’ll spend the first 4 sharpening the axe.” He was a wise man. God says, “If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success” (Ecc. 10:10). Let’s focus [...]

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. [...]
