Let’s talk for a moment about faith. Faith is a “gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8) and God uses His divine spoon to give each of us a “measure of faith” (Romans 12:3). The question is not, “How do I get faith?” but, “How do I exercise the faith that God has already given me?” All [...]
God told Moses at the burning bush, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob” (Exodus 3:6). Our God is the God of the generations. And he is calling all of us, from every generation, to join together in His end-time harvest! He is calling children, teenagers, and those [...]
I love learning simple leadership principles and tips that make a huge difference in my life. For example, I have learned that if I feel overwhelmed with too much on my plate, I simply make a list of everything I need to do. Then I prioritize the list, and begin with the first thing on [...]
There is power in teamwork. Jesus built a team. Paul built a team. When two or three gather in His name, He is in the midst of us! (Matt. 18:20). God honors teamwork. So if we want God to show up in our lives, we need to learn to work with others on a team. [...]
God’s Grace is His total kindness, a divine energy released into our lives by the Holy Spirit. We don’t deserve it, but when we allow ourselves to receive it, our lives are changed forever. “By the grace of God I am what I am” (I Cor. 15:10).
2018 has become history. 2019 is upon us. A new year. A new chapter. A new season. As we face 2019, let’s make our posture the same as Paul the apostle, “…one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize [...]
The birth of Jesus is the greatest gift ever given. He came from heaven to earth as a gift from God. He gave his life on a cross as a gift, paying for our sins. He made it possible for us to inherit the gift of eternal life. We simply need to believe in Him, [...]
If you are experiencing any difficult transitions, conflict, grief, or struggle, I have a secret to share with you. Do you know where seeds begin to sprout? In the dirt. Dirt holds a certain magic, cradling new life. In fact, our past mistakes, heartaches, and any tension we may feel right now in our present [...]
We all experience seasons of change and transition in life. Sometimes life is exciting, dynamic, and we feel on top of the world. At other times we just want to go away and escape. King David once said, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.” (Ps. 55:6) If we [...]
I was in Myanmar a few weeks ago and they explained to me that they have three different seasons in their country. They have the rainy season, the summer season, and the hot season. And each season has it’s own challenges. As followers of Jesus, we all face different seasons in life, and we must [...]
