Today is a great day to take stock of your ministry’s priorities, goals, and vision. Are you equipping the saints to fight battles, or are you teaching women to be lazy and apathetic?
We can say that Jesus is our Friend, our Lord, our Redeemer, but do we act like it?
H.O.P.E. Kids exists to raise adoption rates and lower abortion rates by working together. The mission is to provide women considering abortion with another option—adoption.
I begin to see, though, how this “shaking” seems to be uncovering hidden things in all areas of the Body. What is rising to the surface in it all?
But as I continued to reflect on this statement in the following days, I realized that the reservoir that Dr. Mayer taught from was not just that of Bible truth, but rather truth in relationship with Him who is Truth Himself.
The danger of our modern, evangelical movement is that we’ve created an answer that is too slick and simplistic for real life—we’ve left no room for dealing with hard questions.
The commission to “go” never required perfection on the part of those being sent. It simply required the boldness to be obedient.
This challenge to have faith outside the four walls of the church will cause us to face new fears that we’ve never had to face before.
We get jealous because we want what they have, yet the Bible teaches that the way God intends us to receive what they have is by first honoring what God is doing with them!
Our God is an amazingly diverse, creative healer, redeemer, and lover of our hearts. Let’s never put Him in a box, but allow Him to set us free.
We have transitioned more times than I can count over the last 10 years, but this one has by far been the hardest…emotionally, physically, spiritually.
Between doing this so spontaneously, getting honked at for my abrupt U-turn, and letting what seemed to be an overly eager stranger into my car, I was feeling a little awkward.
The Word of the Lord is telling us where we are and what we need to do to move into revival. He is speaking specifically to pastors, prophets, and apostolic leaders.
What do we learn about community from the movie The Circle starring Tom Hanks and Emma Watson? The church can do it better!
We are the translators to the world around us of what God is doing and saying. Plan to be a beacon. Ask for someone to be put there for you to love on. Face your moments with intentionality in mind

Jesus was always about love. But truth was never compromised in the meantime. This is the struggle that is plaguing our churches and, indeed, the world at large.
The deepness that He is taking me through requires a trusting faith, a real faith without any room for doubt or another plan.
Experiencing the presence of God can cause you to feel intense emotions, but being emotional is not the equivalent of being in the presence of God.
“Tu está aquí.” Three simple Spanish words meaning “You are here.” They became the first words in a foreign language that I connected to God with. It turns out God can also be “Dios.”
The fact is that I’m grateful for my charismatic beginnings. If not for the very realness and nearness of the God Benny Hinn described in his testimonial book Good Morning, Holy Spirit, I don’t know if I would have ever taken steps of faith.
Nobody should feel like they cannot show up to church because they don’t have nice enough clothes to wear or they are stuck in a lifestyle of sin but don’t know how to get out. Come anyway.
