It seems like everywhere I turn, I find myself talking to someone who feels as if they are in the “land in between.” They know God has something for them in the next season, but find themselves waiting, and God seems to be silent. They feel like Abram on his way to the Promised Land [...]
God has not forgotten your dreams. He is working behind-the-scenes in ways you do not see. God sees a beautiful diamond inside each of us, but it takes time for Him to cut out the impurities in our lives so that we can reflect Jesus. Sometimes the refining process feels as if it’s taking too long [...]
Every time I get on an airplane I am glad that the pilot has been properly trained. The pilot has taken flight school and has logged thousands of hours of flying. I feel the same way when I visit a doctor. I know the doctor has been properly trained. You are called by God to [...]
Do not allow the past to steal your present, nor the uncertainty of the future to steal your joy. Every problem that you and I have is an opportunity for a miracle or new door to be opened. As you read through the Bible, you’ll find that every miracle was preceded by a problem. The [...]
I just returned from Indonesia, the most populated Muslim nation on earth. Currently 200 million Muslims live in this nation. But here is the good news! Every 15 seconds a Muslim becomes a follower of Jesus in Indonesia! Last year, 2 million Muslims received Jesus Christ as Lord in this nation! God is mightily at [...]

About two weeks ago I was in India, a country of 1.2 billion people made up of 80 percent Hindus and 15 percent Muslims. Today I am in Malaysia where more than 60 percent of the population is Muslim. Next week I plan to be in Indonesia, the largest populated Muslim country in the world [...]
When I received Jesus Christ as my Lord at age 18, I was hungry to receive training from those who had been walking with God for years before me. I took in every local church Bible School and Training School I could find. I devoured teaching from Christian leaders who had paved the way before [...]
I am spending a few days this week in the mountains taking in God’s amazing creation. Our universe and everything in it has order and design. Its complexity and beauty suggest an intelligent creator behind it. God intended for the beauty of the universe to point to Him (Psalms 19:1). In Romans 1:20, the apostle [...]
I spent the past week in three cities in India including Mysore, Bangalore and Kakinada. This nation of more than 1.2 billion people is set to become the largest populated nation in the world, bypassing China, by 2025. It is a highly religious nation with 80% Hindus, 15% Muslims, and 4% Christians. I met so [...]
