Three very bad things happened as a result of the Fall (in the Garden of Eden): –Division between God and the human race. –Division between humans and other humans. –Division within each person. And since the Fall, many have labored passionately to remove the divisions and brokenness between...

Today is the National Day of Prayer, an especially good reminder to be praying for our nation.

“Anyone who listens to the Word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.” (James 1:23-24) DISOBEDIENCE greatly increases confusion. But OBEDIENCE brings clarity — and takes...

Easter and the Resurrection are about transformation! Here's a short video I made. Hope it blesses you.

Here's a short video I made for Good Friday. Hope it blesses you.

“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit — fruit that will last…” (John 15:16) From Heaven’s point of view, there’s a big difference between being busy and being productive. It’s good occasionally to take an inventory of how we’re spending...

Find a way to do Kingdom stuff every day (sharing the Gospel, praying with people, interceding for the lost people in your life, etc.). It will bring Joy to the heart of Jesus! Even little things are significant… “His Master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful...

YES, LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOURSELF! (Ran into this sign at a car dealership today) We need to stop living our lives through books and movies for awhile -- and unplug from electronica, entertainment, social media, etc. for awhile -- and go on some real adventures with the Holy Spirit! It’s...

In the 5th century, Patrick was captured from his English home as a youth by Irish pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland, which at that time was a fierce land controlled by warring tribes. After a number of years, he received a vision from God telling him about a ship that would take him...

Don’t check your theological brain at the door just because something (a movie, a TV show, a book, an idea, a method, etc.) touches you emotionally. Emotions are not supposed to define reality, merely (when experienced rightly) enhance it. Sometimes (perhaps often?), we must choose Truth over...

“I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever;” (John 6:51) What are you most hungry for? Where are your hungers and desires taking you? Whatever we are most hungry for will define our lives (You are what you eat!). Hunger is as hunger...

“And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.” (Ephesians 4:30) To avoid sin only because of its self-destructive consequences is to create a me-centered Gospel. The main reason we should not sin is because it grieves the heart of God. And a...

"These promote controversies rather than God's work -- which is by faith." (1 Timothy 1:4) I encourage people to unplug from online discussions and debates (at least for awhile) and get out and do the work of the Kingdom. The Great Commission would be a good place to start. :)

Nothing in this world (concerning the human race) is ever just physiological or psychological. At the core of every issue is a spiritual reality. And that is why merely physical and psychological and educational and political methods will never be enough to deliver humanity from its many...

Divine focus. Everyone I admire had/has it. The ability to stay focused on Jesus and the Kingdom, and to keep these as their priorities, in the midst of many trials and distractions. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33)

A short video I made, filled with scripture, quotes and encouraging images about the joy of evangelism. Hope it blesses you!

Humility expresses itself in kindness and patience. "Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may...

There is a burning desire in the hearts of all people for a true understanding of their identity. In some ways, this has always been true. But with the ongoing dismantling of absolutes in our culture, even more so, since many people have always looked for a certain sense of identity in their...

I was reading ROMANS CHAPTER 1 the other day. I was reminded that the greatest, most impacting decision we will ever make is “Whom will I worship?” No other decision we can make is as important or life-changing. Every other thing we think and say and do is merely a SYMPTOM of Whom or what we...
