Recently I’ve been challenged to go back to the early Church. The Church was on fire and moving with great speed spreading the gospel. It was growing so fast that the leaders couldn’t keep up with the demands. Acts 6 tells us that the leaders came up with...

I was brought to tears on January 20, 2017 as I watched the next president of the United States being sworn in. I admit that I haven’t always tuned into past inauguration festivities – especially the swearing in of a new president – but this...

We are a week into 2017 and I’m not sure what’s going in your life. But something tells me that you, like me, may have lost your vision. Sometimes circumstances can cloud our eyes. Hardships can distort our goals. Unforeseen things can keep us from...

I was at the Christian book store a couple weeks ago and noticed a book that caught my attention. It’s written by a favorite author of mine, and it’s about one of my favorite topics: prayer. Since I’ve chosen to write about prayer in the next few...

I love to hear awesome testimonies. Testimonies of lives that have been transformed. Perhaps an atheist who now loves and serves Jesus. Or a former inmate changed by the power of the cross. Or an alcoholic set free. Or a person’s hopelessness turned to hope....
