The family is so significant, but is often unappreciated by church leaders. A godly family is a huge part of God’s kingdom plan. Just because we are Christians and attend church does not mean we have a godly family. A godly family has a spiritually dynamic. It is filled with the love, power, and wisdom […]

From the earliest moments of childhood humans are focused on discovery. All of us were designed by God for science and the scientific method. The most basic definition of the scientific method is as follows; “Sci.en.tif.ic Meth.od – noun: A method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic […]

It stares us right in the face, yet it must be hiding; many miss it. Few actions have bigger consequences to stabilize and improve our situation than genuine thanksgiving. It is not a thought or an attitude, it is an action. Two words in one; thanks and giving. Without both of them it is not […]

It doesn’t take long for new Christians to realize that salvation means more than personal blessings. They learn that they have been called to partner with God in the work of the ministry. Then their prayers begin to shift from, “Help me Lord.” to “Use me Lord.” In fact, if a Christian is not used […]

Travelling, planning or working is much more enjoyable when we do it with friends and family. We are happiest when we work and play together with people we love. If we are separated from those we love, or we live without friendship, life becomes dry and dutiful. Then, we lose the joy that comes from […]

Two thousand and seventeen marks the five-hundred year anniversary of the protestant reformation. It is time that we experienced another one. The end-time church should move forward in destiny to be the church God planned. That kind of change requires a drastic shake-up and most Christians have no idea what could possibly be missing or […]

Before the Lord returns the church will undergo a reformation; it must. In many corners of the world congregational life is failing. The sinful pressures of a post-Christian era are busting up the planet and we are in desperate need of a spiritual awakening. We look to the Lord for revival to wake up the […]

Like a faithful relationship between a husband and wife, heaven calls us to be devoted to prayer (Col. 4:2 and Acts 2:42). Devoted means committed, steadfast, passionate, and faithful. Devoted means more than attending a prayer meeting or being dutiful to daily devotions; it is a love affair with prayer. I have never seen supernatural […]

Most of us are peace-loving romantics who desire a pastoral life of tranquility and dignity. We want righteousness to rule and evil to have no place in our world. We were made for love, not fighting. Unfortunately, the world of peace does not exist and cannot exist until Jesus returns and rules the nations with […]

The outcome for God’s eternal plan is set and it was set before the world was formed. One thing, however, has not yet been determined; it is the destiny of every individual. History reveals the progressive unfolding of God’s plan. From the days of hunters and gatherers until now, the world has undergone enormous shifts […]

Some Christians believe in angels but not demons, heaven but not Hell, and blessings but not curses. We should not focus on evil, but we must not ignore what Jesus taught. One third of His ministry dealt with demons, and Jesus never called anyone to the ministry without telling them to cast out demons. Evil […]

Everything that God does is purposeful; He is never aimless or unintentional. Throughout history His focus is always set. It was on Noah as he built an ark. It was on Abraham as he traveled from Ur of the Chaldees toward the Promised Land. His sharpened focus was on the deliverance of the children of […]

The amount of personal care the Lord extends to people is amazing. Philip was instructed to leave a powerful revival in Samaria and walk 50 miles toward Gaza because God wanted to show His love to one man. There, in the desert, Philip saw the Ethiopian treasurer sitting on a chariot on his was back […]

As you know, everything is shutting down, including airlines, national sporting events, restaurants, grocery stores, and churches. I have not seen anything like this in my lifetime. Perhaps not since WWII has there been such restrictions mandated around the world. The big question is, “How should the church respond to the policies and edicts associated […]

Change is in the air. The church has a window of opportunity to move into lock-step purpose with God. Finally, the devil is under siege in America and he hates it. Those who fight the good fight against him will find new strength. We are at the edge of a new beginning, so fresh vision […]

“In Celebration of Children,” would be a great book title for the Christian library. God’s love and focus on children is paramount to the Christian faith. Jesus never refused them and taught that all have to be like them to enter His kingdom. The innocence, joy, and ability to forgive, that most children possess, are […]

Jesus prayed, “That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.” Jn. 17:21. Lining up is in the heart of God. From early days the Lord established covenant relationships. His plan included Abraham, Moses, David, the prophets, Jesus and His apostles; and from there, the […]

It is normal to think that our service is a means to an end. That if we serve well we will be promoted to a higher level where we do not need to serve, but rule as sons instead. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are called to be sons but to serve […]

Principalities and powers are looking at Israel. The church, however, may not be in step with heaven’s focus; some do not line up with God’s prophetic word. The Church may be looking in the wrong direction. The focus is often on history and not what God is doing today. Prophetic disciples know to fix their […]

This is the season of Israel’s restoration, and the church and the world are blessed because of it. Through the descendants of Abraham, the world is blessed and will be blessed even more in the future (See Gen. 12:2-3). In the past, blessings came because of the teachings and life examples of the patriarchs, the […]
