It becomes a specific time in your life when God "shows up"! Understand, that life is not just the ordinary, there is a supernatural side too - it is the element you need to make all the difference in your life. This Divine collision leaves a li...

Spiritual warfare is vitally important in a world of spiritual intrigue and ignorance. With the increase of New Age thinking, Atheism, Wiccan and a growing interest in the Occult worldwide, the need for Christians to understand what spiritual warfare has never been greater.

Meanwhile, this cosmic battle is becoming an increasingly confusing topic to study, as Christians have a v...

We live in a culture that is intrigued with the idea of supernatural activity. Meanwhile most of what many know about the spiritual and the supernatural they’ve learned from TV and the big screen. Hollywood’s interest in angels, demons, and the afterlife has dramatized spiritual warfare so much that it’s hard to know what’s real and what’s not. Not only is our culture intrigued by odd supernatural inquiry, but there also has been a rising interest in issues of social and global justice. As many ...

It’s humanly impossible to just keep going without ever stopping to rest. Even machines need downtime for repairs and maintenance. The human body is no different, with the exception that we keep the machine running at the expense of physical, emotional and spiritual needs. You need quiet time, that uninterrupted silence that is so elusive and prized, to rest and renew. While today’s world has many luxuries that are supposed to make life much easier, sometimes these things seem to make life more ...

A pandemic rolled in and showed us the best and worst of humanity. The conditions caused by this phenomenon allowed us to see the anxieties, injustice, misplaced priorities and discord. It also revealed the need to change and adapt more quickly than most thought possible, and reminded us what is really important. Human connection and it’s nemesis – conflict. Conflict is all around us. People have different perspectives on how to solve a problem, or even what the problem is. They have different p...

Our culture today, like many before it, professes to love freedom, but freedom has been in short supply for most of history, and with good reason – It's profession and practice are two different things. For the most part, the cry for liberation and freedom in the modern era has been hijacked by substitutes. Because fallen human beings, outside of Christ are in fact held captive by sin.. Far from being controversial, this is a fact every person knows deep in their own being. Tragically, the ‘free...

Recently conviction and reverence has gotten a bad rap. Many have swung the pendulum and over-corrected to extreme legalism and boundary strict Christianity that has wounded some. But in overreacting to legalism, I wonder if we have left the highway of holiness and lost the all-important spiritually vital component of Awe and reverence. In a world where holiness is out and authenticity in, perhaps we have slid too far down the road of "I’m just being true to myself"... In this episode of keep It...

The modern person’s ability to stick with anything too long has evaporated. The messaging and packaging from everything from breakfast cereal to politics has to be constantly evolving in order to hold people’s attention. Relevancy is driving a whole engine in the incessant search for what is new & fashionable. Trying to be culturally relevant in some instances is turning the church into followers instead of leaders. And it often makes churches look too much the same in ways we ought to be di...

The authors of the book “In their Time”, cite one common denominator among all great leaders ... "They possessed an acute sensitivity to the social, political and demographic context that came to define their eras." Relevance is so crucial today and no one is more relevant than God. God is not only omniscient and omnipotent, but He His omni-relevant. But cultural relevance doesn't mean dumbing down convictions or watering down the truth. So what does it really look like to be righteously relevan...

Ancient Roman Statesman Cicero accurately said, “What starts as GRATITUDE quickly becomes dependency and ends as entitlement”. As a society we seemingly have evolved to the point where we can customize our circumstances according to how we wish it to be, fashioning our world to favor our whims. Yet, when we live in a way that we believe we deserve, we actually knock God out of the center of our lives. GRATITUDE is the currency that secures more blessings and places you in the favor of the Father...

Ours is a nation that has been hit with a health pandemic, But maybe the most UNDECTED PANDEMIC is a loss of authentic identity.
